Luxury Vinyl and self levelling over Parquet ?

I have a parquet flooring in the living room which is in good condition but dated (area is approx 8metre x 4 metre) . The room has a slope in one corner. I was hoping to do following

1. Level the corner where the parquet is sloping with Self Levellign Compound (SLC) sutiable for wood (if any recommendation on a good SLC, let me know).
2. On top of this lay a luxury vinyl flooring, so some luxury viyl will be on part which has SLC veneath it and some which will be on parquet.

So questions are:

1. Are there any good SLC to put on wood parquet floor - do you recommend any specific brand
2. Is it a good idea to lay the luxury vinyl like this as ideally I do not want to remove parquet as it will be lot of work and then I will have to level the entire floor.
3. Is there particular type of LVT brand I can use.
4. Is it better to do glued LVT or click (floating)

Offcourse I will not do this as DIY but get somebody experienced to do it. However, before i get somebody to get over to quote

Is there a better alternative than what I have described above.

Many thanks for your replies

 

Thanks @Spacey , what about putting a new wood flooring over parquet?

 

@Spacey which self levelling copund you recommend for areas of approx 35 to 45 mm dip

 

You won’t have a Dpm under the woodblocks so that’s why it has to come up unless you go for Carpet really.

 

Don't do it

 

If you manage to get someone 'experienced' (as you say) to do exactly what you have suggested then they will arrive on a horse

If you are set on lvt then it has to come up, you will be setting yourself up for a big fall. Even if you want for stick down lvt it'll eventually be floating!

 

You absolutely cannot lay levelling compound or LVT over parquet

OH YES YOU CAN

 

Only down 2 years. And that’s with a high water table.

Thank you everyone for all the replies. What about a wooden flooring over parquet?

 

No no, only carpet

Wood is a natural product. It will contract and expand depending on the climate.this is ok for 1 level. If you then want to put another product (that will also want to move and breathe) on top of an already moving base you're heading for failure.

Do it once, do it correctly.

 

Remove it all, depending on Rh% readings in the concrete base it will need screed, surface dpm sandwich (if you’re lucky) chances are you may need a brand new sub-floor with a mechanical dpm, after around 4 weeks a Rh% test should be able to be done and further advice could be given. No matter the outcome it’s not cheap to do and must be completed by a professional, honestly if you can live with the Flooring you have I would, anyone who doesn’t give you simple advice like you have seen in this thread needs kicking out of your property sharpish.
