Hello everyone,
Even though I think I already know what to do, I would like to get your opinion here and maybe also vent a little frustration.
I bought a total of 140 m² of parquet from a specialist dealer for our new house construction. These are 2.2 m long planks in a three-layer construction, with 70 m² being 0.185 m wide and another 70 m² 0.26 m wide. The goal was a floating installation without glue so that I could do the work myself with my friends.
On last Good Friday, we installed the parquet. Long story short: the 70 m² with 0.26 m width did not have a click system but a tongue and groove connection. None of us were really experts and of course we didn’t think much of it and installed the floor without glue, according to the advisor I should only receive flooring that requires no glue. It was noticeable that the floor (logically in hindsight) kept "popping out" when hammered and we therefore had much more time involved than with the click floor.
In hindsight, the dealer informed me that this floor needs to be glued and it was our mistake to install the floor without gluing.
After many talks with the owner of this store, no support is to be expected. Therefore, now the question to you: do I really have to take apart and glue the 70 m² in the living room and on the gallery again? The floor makes quite a stable impression, but it also hasn’t yet been loaded with furniture. How do you see this issue? Is the additional disassembly and gluing at the tongue and groove necessary? Thanks.
Regards
Ingo
