Cleaning the Subfloor
Older parquet floors were fixed using bitumen. This is a now a banned substance so would need to be completely removed before any further work is carried out. Over time, bitumen can affect the bonding used to fix the parquet planks causing the setting time to increase by many hours.
Damaged or missing blocks
We will check for any loose, damaged or missing blocks. Loose blocks are often the hardest to find but as soon as you get one loose block it disturbs the other blocks around it, and eventually a complete section is no longer attached to the subfloor. The sound of the area underfoot is the giveaway as it sounds hollow.
Fitting New Wooden Blocks
We will make sure that any new blocks will perfectly match the height and level of the blocks that are already laid. The continuous sanding and staining where necessary will then bring the wood as close to a match as we possibly can.
Just like regular engineered flooring, parquet engineered flooring is made using several layers of wood, boned together to form a plank, with a top layer of solid wood to form an extremely hard wearing plank.
This type of flooring is incredibly stable as the layers are all added alternately at an angle of 90°. This technique increases the engineered parquets stability so that it can be used on all types of sub floor including underfloor heating.
