Consumer News Even Parquet Floors Are Easy To Do J4l; ' I ,"-v ''-:s ' 'iff' With a little elbow grease, you can now have a beautiful hardwood floor for about the same or only slightly more than the cost of good carpeting or resilient floor tiles. The latest introduction in the booming line of do-it-yourself products is hardwood parquet flooring you can install your self. It's so easy, says the manu facturer, even a Yank amateur can lay a 10-foot by 12-foot room in a day. Unlike the old strip floor that had be nailed to a wood sub floor, these parquet patterns are glued down in much the same way synthetic floor tiles are laid. They can be glued directly over almost any existing floor, including concrete, wood, vinyl asbestos, or pure vinyl. Rubber tiles, however, must be removed first. And once they're laid, you're finished. These floors are factory-finished so there's no sand ing, staining or varnishing. Fin ishes range from light natural to deep, dark ebony. ' . ; Several patterns and wood species are now available. The floor shown here is Bruce Flooring's laminated oak in the classic Haddon Hall pattern. Smaller pieces of wood are bound into 12-inch squares with a cotton mesh backing. There's also teak and pecan parquetry. Because of its unusual strength and water resistance, the teak is recommended for high-traffic areas such as foyers and family rooms. Special sealers and waxes are applied at the factory so that all of these floors are easy to maintain. They require only oc casional vacuuming and waxing no more than once or twice a year. Only a good paste or solvent-based wax never a water-base is recommended. Water cart raise the grain of wood and may damage the finish. , The do-it-yourself parquets are now available at many lum ber and building supply retail ers, throughout the country. If, however, you don't find them locally, you can get a color bro chure and the nearest dealer's name by writing Bruce Floor ing, 1648 Thomas St., Mem phis, TN 38107.
