Can a concrete floor be poured over a hard wood floor? | |
we are remoldeling our house.
We re-finished all the hardwood floors but the kitchen floor is un-finishable.
We want to put a thin layer of concrete over the old hardwood and epoxy the concrete. Can it be done?
Answers:
1you can do anything you like but this is crazy.the wood Willl rot in time and your floor wil sag,
was this the builders idea ,then change the builder for someone with brains.
either get a floor sander ,sand the wood and re varnish it.
or cover it with vinyl(This is the most practical and can look really classy
.
or rip it out and pour concrete .
to lay a thin layer of concrete ,in time you will end up with a cracked floor.
why don't you fiber glass it ,that's also crazy but still better than your idea.
in Africa they got beautifully floors with varnished cowsh*it.
no joke looks like mahogany.

the answer is "yes". been pouring thin (3/4") concrete topping over wood constructed floors for ten years--never a crack. we use an anchor clip to bond the two materials, hire stampers to stain and texture the surface, and the floors are beautiful.
