A blog about my DIY reclaimed solid beech parquet floors. Written to fill a gap as there wasn't much information on the web when I started my quest. Feel free to ask questions and I'll try to help...

Compound Saw about to spring into action...
Flooring being glued down in Herringbone fashion...
Floor completely laid in Arthur's room.. Every last piece used...
Clean the excess bitumen off with white spirit...it smells...but it works fast..
Thank you so much for posting this! We're about to start cleaning our reclaimed blocks...did you regret not cleaning the bottom or are you still happy with your floor? R
I haven't checked this blog for a while..I am still happy with the floor...Definitely did'nt need to clean the bitumen off the bottoms...How is your floor?

This is very impressive. A lot of effort and a first class result. What varnish did you opt for?
ReplyDeleteReally interesting blog... just attacking our own parquet flooring we found under the carpet. Thanks for all the advice...

DeleteFloors look amazing! We have done the same and bought reclaimed blocks. Can you confirm what from B&Q you stuck them down with?
ReplyDeleteVery informative and helpful post, thanks for sharing.
