Is it ok to put new hardwood flooring over existing flooring?

ly_rose asked:


We are working on an older house and some of the floor have spaces missing(we took out some walls) So we are putting in new hardwood floors. The floors now are some hardwood some other things. Can we put the new hardwood over the existing floors? Is this a good idea? Other choice is tearing all the floors out, but we would like to avoid that.

Is Australian Cypress a durable hardwood flooring option?

Mike G asked:


Any hardwood flooring experts out there?

We are considering 5 1/4″ unfinished Australian Cypress flooring but have heard some stories that it can tend to crack, creak and pop after installation.

We are planning to match moisture contents of flooring and subfloor before installation, glue and staple the boards in place, and the house will have a quality central HVAC system with humidity control.

Should we be concerning ourselves about this wood? Will this wood be likely to crack and pop when we walk on it down the road?

Thanks for any advice!
Mike

Is it safe to mop my laminate hardwood flooring with vinegar and water?

Trix_R_not_4_kids asked:


I know that there is a floor wax called Murphys Wax which I can use, but my cousin suggested that I use vinegar dilluted in water instead because its cheaper, and mop with a dry mop. Is it safe to do this? Will it ruin the flooring?

Can I install hardwood flooring in my basement area?

Chris L asked:


I just recently picked up a batch of Armstrong red oak hardwood flooring for a fantastic deal - enough to cover the space in my entry way at the basement level of my townhouse. Unfortunately, I’ve heard it shouldn’t be done due to moisture issues. Is this so? I considered (to keep the moisture locked out) leaving the existing vinyl floor (it’s literally a part of the concrete floor it’s so well attached) and laying right over it. I’m aware there’s an adhesive I need, regardless. Can anybody offer up some suggestions? Thanks!

Any thoughts on a darker stain for hardwood flooring?

clueless asked:


We’re building a new home and I am in love with the idea of darker hardwood (like walnut) or a stain which would darken another type of wood. I’m looking for a walnut type appearance, including on the stairs. If anyone has any input about their own experience, I would be very appreciative. Thank you so much!
