Reclaimed Floor Part Two| Laying Old Parquet Herringbone Pattern| Cutting Border
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Welcome back guys !! A lot has been done to the floor since my last update. In today's video I'll show you how we lay the reclaimed parquet in a herringbone pattern. We'll talk about getting the first line right using a guide, the glue and tools used as well as how we cut out the border and how to lay it also. This is reclaimed Parquet so the boards are covered in bitumen, so it's not going to look good when it first is installed. Next up we will discuss sanding, filling and varnishing. I hope these videos are helpful for anyone attempting to do this themselves. If you have any questions leave me a comment below. Make sure to like and subscribe for the next part.

Such great timing, I've almost finished the cleaning stage, should start laying next weekend. Looks great well done
Ah thanks so much delighted you found us !! Best of luck with it !
Thanks for the great vids. The end result looks super. We've watched each vid in the series individually a few times as we have 200 sq metres of parquet blocks (two vans full of the stuff!) in teak which we scored from a bloke in Brighton for 2 grand. Also it's already in really nice condition. Anna has spent about a year so far scraping bitumen off the back and tongues/grooves. She's about 1/3 of the way through! We can probably speed it up with a bit of effort... We only need to lay about 70 sq m in total but the guy wanted rid of it all and did it super cheap so we'll sell the stuff we don't use eventually. For the adhesive I've bought a pot of Lecol 5500 which based on the name I reckon is exactly the same as the Sika 5500 you used. Maybe just a different brand or something? Did you come across Lecol when you looked into it? Assuming it's the same stuff, what was the temperature when you laid it, and how long did you have to work with it? I've heard it goes tacky really quickly and is hard to work with but the stuff you had looked not too bad at all. Cheers for all the hard work making the vids, I think they are great for idiots like us planning to do it ourselves :)
@@MatSmithLondon @MatSmithLondon god bless your dedication 😂😂 I'm so glad you found it useful makes all the effort videoing and editing this worth it ! In terms of temperature I've no idea but we lay it in November in Dublin so wasn't warm but we would've had the heating on. We didn't spread too much glue at once to avoid it drying out but laying it is super quick. Depending on if the glue is the same which I'm unsure but hopefully my dad can confirm for you, we didn't need to scrape the bitumen off the backs ! We just used a brush on a grinder bench to remove it from the tongue and groove so much faster. Any other qs just shout and I'll get my dad on the case, this is his third time doing it- this is my first and last I don't know what he was thinking 😂
@@colourfulsaz Haha, he's a glutton for punishment! Yeh I didn't think it was worth doing the backs of the parquet but the the better half insisted... but sides and tongues/grooves obvs important to do. I'm going to start with our corridor of doom I think, get it out the way before embarking on the big section of floor (I think the smaller bits are more fiddly...) I've just finished completely fluffing up laying a self levelling screed, so I'm sure the parquet laying can't be any worse 😅😅
@@MatSmithLondon awh the smallest bits were awful they definitely took the longest and nothing to show for it 😫 the big sections of floor were so satisfying we flew through the actual laying of the floor. Here's hoping you'll be laying it soon!!
@@MatSmithLondon hey mat just asked my dad he said that glue is meant to be great he just couldn't find it here were in Dublin. He said just make sure to get a trowel as per their spec because that will help it not dry out as you're using it. We used a 6mm rectangular slot and it left plenty on the ground. But you might need something different for your glue.
@@colourfulsaz Yes their trowel is a B2 type (had no idea what that was until yesterday! Basically a triangular 3mm notched trowel with 2mm gaps between triangles… very specific!) Thanks for finding out for me, very kind!
Lovely job with the video and the project so far!
Thank you so much! It's all finished now, have another video on it if you'd like to see the results :)
Nice work looks great well done guys
Thank you!!
Great work Sarah. It was a pleasure working with you. Pity about my arse on show though. 😬🤣
Listen are we surprised 🙈😂 was so much fun really dad, well laugh about this project one day lol
Great job, we are just in the first stage. Question, is there any smell from the tar now that it is layed and sealed? Thanks
No smell at all. Once the sanding of the top layer was done the smell was all gone. Unfortunately we had a lot of bitumen on the top of the tiles so it took a while. But I knew from my dad doing this project previously that it went away 😊
And best of luck !!!
Thanks so much, love your idea of using a timber straight edge to get started. You have a great dad 😊
@@user-hl9vv7pb7s he's the best!! Yes it's was a genius idea we used it in each room and it took all the pain out of it by letting it set then for a bit. Meant the tiles weren't going all over the place wrecking our heads haha
Oh I have so many questions. Or rather my husband has. He was wondering if it would be worth sanding at the cleaning stage? Would it make it easier down the line of the process?
Also do you know how many square metres you did, roughly?
Also I just love your Dad. He reminds me so much of my husband. Happy even though working like a madman. Good for you both.
Ah Susan what a lovely comment ❤❤ I don't think sanding at the cleaning stage would be worth it because the sanding gets all the boards level so you may sand pieces too much or too little and then you have to sand it again to rectify that. But might be good to get off some of the dirt but most of the stuff you buy isn't as bad as the tiles we had !!
We did around 51 Square metres!
Hi Sarah, questions about cleaning them, I’m currently using a 4” grinder with p60 discs to do the sides. I’m getting through a lot of them as the blind over quickly. With your bench grinder set up did you have that problem of blinding? Which wheels did you use? Thanks
Hey ! We used a wire brush wheel and there was no blinding. Same wheel for the whole cleanup with no cleaning of the wheel.hope this helps !!
I know hindsight is 20-20 but I think you would save yourself so much time and effort if you cleaned all the flooring first with CO2 blasting. Tar is child's play with CO2 blasting. Tar freezes to the brittle stage and flakes right off. No tar fumes and cleanup would be a breeze because the tar doesn't get hot.
Oh class I haven't heard of this method. I tell you one thing tho I'll never be doing this project again anyways 😂
