Polished Concrete in house - HATE IT

A serious fad imo. People will be ripping this out of houses in the future like we're doing previous fads now.

Absolutely hate them myself. As wooden floors can be laid on standard solid floors, I don't see why not. Check with any flooring supplier.

It is possible to install hardwood flooring over a polished concrete floor, without having to remove the concrete. However, there are some important considerations to keep in mind.

Firstly, the concrete floor must be structurally sound, flat, and level. Any imperfections or unevenness in the surface will need to be addressed before the hardwood can be installed. This may require some leveling compounds or grinding to create a smooth surface.

Secondly, a moisture barrier will need to be installed over the concrete before the hardwood can be laid. This will help to prevent any moisture from the concrete from affecting the wood.

Finally, the hardwood flooring will need to be installed using a specialized method known as "floating." This involves laying the flooring over a padded underlayment without being attached to the concrete below.

It's important to note that installing hardwood flooring over concrete can be a more involved process than traditional hardwood flooring installation. It may be a good idea to consult with a professional flooring contractor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Are all floors not concrete ? Putting in a wooden floor will mean changing / cutting doors and saddles but if it has to done it has to be done.

Yeah I know , but you could still put a wooden floor on top

Thank you ChatGPT

I once didn't account for the door clearance, and it caused terrible problems. I had to use a punch to fix those problems. I've been measuring carefully ever since.

Hi all.
