Help!

Wanted to do laminate flooring for all bedrooms, living and dining.

The existing flooring in bedrooms are parquet n living room is terazzo.

my contractor said CANNOT lay laminate over parquet so given two options

option 1) remove parquet in bedrooms and lay laminate but then there will be a drop from living to bedrooms, think it is ugly.

option 2) touch up the parquet.

any other suggestions?

In my opinion, nothing beats the warm feel of genuine wood. I suggest you have the existing flooring sanded and varnished to a matt finish and it should look great.

Not sure how your terazzo flooring look but I've seen beautiful ones. Again, have it touched up and polished to a high shine and it should look fine. However, I understand that it is expensive to polish terazzo. Not sure how true this is.

I will go for parquet anytime over laminate.

Will be quite a waste to overlay terazzo with laminate.

forgot to add that the parquet is as old as the flat, close to 30 yrs.

from what i can see (those portion not covered by furniture) condition not so good,

think need to replace quite a lot.
