Hi All,

A search of the board shows a couple posts of two years ago, with very limited response on this topic, so I figure.. try again!

Our house has had parquet flooring glued on top of hardwood flooring. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the parquet?

Thanks
-Dave

Dave:

If it's glued well, chances are good it will pull some of the older hardwood flooring off when trying to remove. I can't think of any method to do so without damaging the older hardwood floor unless someone has the patience to stand behind a drum sander using the coarsist grit known to man.
