Those are wise words Karen! am so glad it worked out for you. Love to see a photo, what colour or shade did you choose? Jools, The bitumen is a right pig, best way we found is to make it cold, so it becomes brittle, then you can scrape /chip it off. We used a window scraper, coarse wire wool and various sandpaper. We left the window open on a cold night, turned heating off in there, and you could try a cooler fan on it. Putting ice bags on it didn't work as well as we hoped. we used a round sander, but it can cause swirls, it's really awkward ! To be honest a few dips and scratches on an old floor are okay in the end, don't be too afraid of it, they are only pieces of wood stuck down on the floor, not bone china, as long as you try not to break them, or set fire to them, otherwise you can't possibly do more damage than I did, and they recovered!

I'd suggest the osmo Raw oil, it's what we are going to use on our reclaimed parquet (once we've laid it) . We don't want the floor to yellow as is often the case with other products and we're not after the shiny look either. It's expensive but a little goes a long way. Extract from their website: Osmo Polyx®-Oils are developed from natural oils and waxes to provide the most hardwearing and durable protection for wooden flooring and furniture. Untreated wood in its original form has a light, pale character from its natural 'raw' appearance. Sanded wood also has the same effect. Osmo Polyx®-Oil 3044 Raw is designed to retain this appearance by using a small amount of white pigments to neutralise the permanent 'wet-look' that develops after application of a clear finish. Apply very thinly and brush out any white pigments from the surface before leaving to dry to acheive the desired results.

how should parquet flooring be laid

Christine, you are correct, it should be laid as if the planks are pointing arrows when you enter the room, so that your eye is drawn in that direction, google any picture of parquet flooring and you will see this is how it’s done- https://www.luxuryflooringandfurnishings.co.uk/painswick-amber-oak-150-x-600-x-14-3mm.html?utm_term=&utm_campaign=Wood+-

Parquet floor discovered?
Q

Hi, we found same parquet in our 50’s house- sanded it back and went to a nice oak colour, refinished originally with a dead flat varnish but over last 5 years went a bit yellow- recently resanded and finished with osmo white wax oil finish. We had some gaps that we filled with osmo floor gap filler. There were some loose ones that we stuck back down to the bitumen with no more nails which I’m sure is a no no but it worked. We borrowed a band sander so was cheap to do, but in hindsight you could hire a rotary sander for a day which wouldn’t be too expensive and much quicker. We love it- def worth keeping. The first pic with half and half shows the previous yellow varnish and the others are the raw wood/finished with white oil wax.
