Hi I am moving into my parents 1950’s bungalow which my dad built in 1953. Thoroughout the bungalow they have what appears to be parquet flooring that looks like varnished chipboard. I did not think chipboard was around in the 50’s, but it is not solid wood. Mum had a flood a few years ago and some of the blocks expanded as chipboard does does. Since the 70’s the entire bungalow has been carpeted, but I did think of reinstating the floor in a couple of the rooms. I know it is not solid wood, but it is authentic and was put down when the bungalow was built. Has anyone come across this type of ‘chipboard’ or woodbond composite parquet flooring before? Thanks
