I am removing a built in book case at one end of my family room and found that the hard wood floor does not go under the book case but stops at the book case. This wood floor is what i think is called an engineered wood floor where it is set on top of concrete and maybe glued to the floor? What are my options for either adding on to the floor where the book case will be removed or am i better off pulling up the whole floor and starting over?
If you can possible find the same wood were the tongue and groove fit together , yes you can add on just as they had to and that was to glue it down. You ll more than have to tear out the last row so you have access to either the tongue or the groove, which ever way it was layed. And then go from there. One other coarse other than ripping the whole floor up is to use a T mold which spans both floors and you can just add on from there. Avoid trying to rip up glued down engineered wood flooring, its an SOB to do. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL
