Would you chance it?

My daughter wants me to fit some Karndean in her house. Not a problem accept I’d previously laid engineered hardwood glued directly to the sub-floor. It’s rock solid and will be an absolute nightmare to uplift. I’m thinking a sand of the wood then 2-3 coats of feather jobs a good un? Can’t screed over with a fibrous product as we don’t want to raise the level too much. If it was a client I’d insist on uplift but as it’s the family I may just go for it? Thoughts or any other suggestions? She doesn’t want loose lay must be stuck.

Cheers all

 

I absolutely wouldn't.

 

It's whether your able to palm your daughter off when she's ringing you 3 times a day telling you there's a load more gaps appeared

 

Like Nike says… just do it, doubt your getting paid either way if it’s your daughter

 

Depending on conditions, you might get away with using a sticky underlay, like flexpro or the uzin one that i can't think of the name of right now

 

Your better off sanding it and refinishing it surely ?

 

Ply it and leave ply 5mm short of perimeter and lay LVT. Risk but who knows.
