Hi i ve got a parquet floor all over the first floor.
Can i install hardwood over old hardwood.
There is no concrete under.
Parquet floor was installed about 30 years ago it is glue with white stuff on a plywood.
Repair renail or replace loose flooring products as needed.
If you will install on top the old floor boards have to be securely fastened try to avoid any loose floorboards.
Installing engineered hardwood over existing floors may also require that you cut the interior doors and any exterior door that opens into the house.
This is due to the fact that your floors will be a little higher.
Over an existing glue down floor glue direct to the existing.
If safe to do so see caution above sand off old finish and or high spots and prep to clean dry sound and flat.
Installing wood flooring requires a proper subfloor.
We r about to buy a house and it is 50 yr old.
It is those old style narrow planks.
I want to install a new nailed hardwood floor mirage classical 3 4 inch.
The hardwood has already been sanded twice by previous owners.
Can u just install new wider plank hardwood floor on the existing old.
Installing new hardwood over old hardwood floors installing new hardwood over older wood floors can be extremely time saving in lieu of removal that can become expensive dirty and even dangerous depending on how the original floor was installed.
