Installing reclaimed parquet tiles?
2 years ago
I scored an awesome MCM find: oak parquet tiles for under $1 a foot, salvaged from a house before demo.
Most are in great shape, minimal glue on the back (non asbestos, not bitumen)...I am ready to glue them down to my wood subfloor with Bostick MS Grip.
Has anyone done something similar? (glue down reclaimed flooring)?
There are concerns that the tiles may not adhere properly or be level due to the old dried glue remnants.
i am crossing fingers that the glue will handle these issues, and refinishing will fix any others. Any experience or pro installer feedback is appreciated!
