Many owners of older apartments wonder whether it is possible to install parquet flooring without the need for major renovation work. In reality, parquet can be installed in most older apartments, but some essential factors should be checked before starting the installation process.

The first thing to examine is the condition of the subfloor. The surface should be level and free from major cracks or visible gaps. If the floor is significantly uneven, it may require some minor preparation or treatment before installing the parquet.

The second factor to consider is the level of moisture in the floor or walls. Excessive moisture can affect certain types of wooden flooring over time. Therefore, it is important to ensure that there are no water leaks or high levels of humidity in the space.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the floor height after installation, especially in older apartments where doors or furniture may have been designed according to a specific floor level. Some flooring types, such as SPC, have a relatively thin profile, which makes them suitable for such situations.

Finally, it is advisable to consult a specialist to inspect the floor before installation. This helps ensure that the space is suitable and that the chosen flooring type will deliver the best possible results in terms of appearance and durability.
