Good morning everyone,
Before I go to Home Depot tonight after work, I thought, I'd read (hopefully) some comments and perhaps advices from some experts in this extremely informative group =) As you have probably already figured out from the topic, I found couple of loose pieces/strips in my parquet flooring recently... (each "tile" or the parquet is made of 5 pieces - I believe). Actually I found one spot where two "strips" still are holding each other very nicely and sitting perfectly flat on the floor, but I could lift them up easily, because when I apply pressure on either end of the strip, they move up... My question is - what can I do to fix that? (please do not suggest replacing the parquet with hardwood flooring or laying down a new parquet floor =) I also noticed some other places where the strips are moving (at least on one end so I guess with time they'll get totally loose). I hope there is some way of actually lifting up the loose tiles and re-gluing them... What kind of glue to use? Anything in particular I should be careful with? Any special techniques to make a very strong and durable bond? Another question (I hope you don't mind...) is: The floor has been re-finished quite recently, i.e. before I bought the house. However some of the tiles have a little uneven edges, i.e. sticking up a bit. This is not really affecting the overall look of the floor, but while walking, I can sometimes notice it. would it be advisable to leave them just the way they are (if they're still sitting pretty well) or should I (can I) try to sand the sticking out edge (with random/orbital sander) and re-apply vernish only locally? Can I do that w/o having any experience with working with flooring? I guess that's enough questions for one day. I'd greatly appreciate any advise / opinions / information regarding the above. Thank you all in advance. Have a great day. Best regards, Alan D. |
