We are fitting a distressed solid oak parquet floor to a hallway and dining room. Our client required a distressed finish for to give a ‘ used but looked after’ effect.
First the existing floor was lifted and the old bitumen adhesive removed

The floor is checked for flatness.

The same area with a leveling screed. The lighter area is where the radiator pipes are drying the screed. Its not ready until completely dry and checked with a moisture meter.
