I’m in the process of basically gutting and redoing our (new to us) 1960s home.
In doing so we have lifted the carpets downstairs (brown) and found what appears to be a fitted teak parquet floor. It is attached directly to the concrete slab with what appears to be very thin black sticky mastic or bitumen.
Im hoping to be laying a new laminated wood floor this weekend and pulling up the parquet but wondered if anyone knows of easy ways for disposal. Seen it does sell on eBay but only in small lots. I have around 40m2 of the stuff. It’s all small finger type in 5 finger sections.
I tried a local reclamation yard but he wasn’t interested. If it’s in fashion I may sell it. If it’s not would it be best to take to local waste or can it be burnt? I hate wasting something that can be used by someone else.
anyone have any idea what the black adhesive would be? I need to check the slab once it’s all up but current plan is a dpm/underlay to go direct on slab on top of adhesive and then the laminate on top. I’m hoping to avoid have to get the black goop off as had a quick go scraping it and it didn’t shift easily.
