What do you think on floating parquet to put on this existing floor ?

1 Like

Yes you can do that with a suitable underlay. A floating engineered floor is another good alternative with underlay.
Will affect doors and skirtings but door can be trimmed and beading used for the perimeter of the room.

A floating floor will have bounce so you may want to put turntable in corner of room or on shelve to mitigate footfall issues.

It’s either floating floor or adhering new parquet to floor directly. I wouldn’t go down latter route as it’s more involved, costly and susceptible to failure.

Engineered floating wood floor on underlay is easiest and probably best bet.

It means removing the existing tiles and replace them with wood floor, or the contrary, as clipping the wood floor on tiles?

No you can leave existing floor down if it is level and in good condition. Just lay a floating floor on underlay in top of tiles.

The ideal solution is to remove all existing tiles and fit underlay and new wood floor. But you csn go over the top with underlay and new wood floor. It will raise your floor heighy if you do the latter which causes issues at intersection with hallway floor.

I do this work all the time. It depends on your budget.

Other thing to do is fit a couple of big thick pile rugs.

I asked a shop online today: 4k euros for the job. I will try to find a good not declared worker instead. Or send a taxi helicopter to your house and bring you to my house. :grin:

Underfloor heating ?

If so, make sure only to install extra floor layers (inc carpets etc) if they are compatible with it.

I bet that is a nicely balanced and good sounding system!

I must say i am rather chuffed with how it sounds now, the streamer was the last bit.
Was a gamble if it was going to make a difference but it has.

Next move will have to be amp & speakers to get more so will just stick and enjoy the music.

Dan will cost at least 10k Euros. Have you seen the cost of the new Linn Bedrok plinth?

Good advice @Dan_M :+1:

This is what we did 2yrs ago with our new house. Knocked all 4 rooms and a corridor downstairs into one with plenty of structural steel (to engineer’s specification). Opened up kitchen at the back. Removed fireplaces and all electrics/ plumbing and ceilings. Installed thermal insulation on inside of external walls, installed sound insulation wadding and floating ceiling panels (with LED lighting), new laminate oak floor over (water based) underfloor heating. It’s now a really lovely 64m2 space where light comes in all round at different times of the day, rather than a dark, poky mess. 100 yr old house.

Maybe I should install a bedrock floor, for 150 k? Good investment, not ?

The floor works if you take up all the tiles will be messy and you will have to clear everything out. You have one chance to get it right and won’t want to do it again. Ideally skirting boards and doors need to come off and refitted.

I went through the whole house with laminate flooring starting in my daughter’s room. I wanted to leave the old skirting boards, she wanted new ones. After a whole house worth I am so glad I replaced the skirting boards. Not that hard to do and so much nicer finish at the end. New boards can be glued in place rather than screwed (Only learned this near the end). Only one door needed trimming down. Personally I would remove the old tiles. Do it right, do it once. Couldn’t cope with the slightly different levels in door thresholds. But that’s just me.
