Easy to say can redo. but with so many things put in after so many years, it's too troublesome and you'll probably have to live with it. A nice scratch/dent-resistant laminate would be a better choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have laminate flooring for my bed rooms in my current flat..It's almost 10 years and it still looks good. Only thing is laminate flooring feels hollow, and does not have the solid feel of parquet..which my wife dont like..

Parquet flooring should cost around 1500-2000$ for 3 bedroom from what I remember. Havent seen anyone do parquet in living room. Would look a bit odd for my taste.

Hiphiphoray 6th Gear January 13, 2013 Share January 13, 2013 Dont do parquet. My whole house flooring is parquet. Except the kitchen. Makes the house look darker. And like many have said, the scratches and dents is a sore to see. And it can only get more & more. Cos my kids keeps dropping things. Luckily mine is in small pieces, so far no wrapping after 10 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice scratch/dent-resistant laminate would be a better choice. I agree. All my rooms are parquet. Although good to protect from cold floors they are still prone to damage. If I am given the chance again, I'll do up laminate. Does have its drawbacks but I prefer something more resistance to scratches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Supercharged January 13, 2013 Share January 13, 2013 Nowadays parquet and laminate should be very scratch resistant and water resistant. Talk directly to these suppliers to get latest info ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
