pioneerfan3 Oct 2013 20:14Hello everyone,
I want to buy a listed building.
The floor coverings in it are also protected as part of the heritage preservation.
Part of the floor is terrazzo.
However, I would like to install underfloor heating throughout the entire house.
How can I solve this problem?
Am I allowed to have the floor removed?

pioneerfan4 Oct 2013 08:10I’m not sure yet whether a terrazzo floor is really ideal.
I don’t know what type of terrazzo finish it is.
The house was built in 1906. Does that help?

Not exactly – my question wasn’t about the age of the flooring; that’s clear from the fact that this part of the floor covering is also protected as a historic monument. You wrote: “Part of the floor is covered with terrazzo.” – to me, that initially suggests that other parts of the floor are also subject to historic preservation. That’s what my question was aiming at. If this is a type of Venetian flooring, you can forget about installing underfloor heating at this spot.
If it’s “just” terrazzo – which is truly a beautiful flooring – you will need to have it professionally removed in order to reuse it later.
With buildings protected as historic monuments, it’s always wise to keep in mind that there will be restrictions and higher costs involved in renovation.

pioneerfan4 Oct 2013 09:52I’m not sure what kind of terrazzo it is. However, terrazzo flooring has only been installed in two rooms. The rest have parquet or floorboards. These can be removed and reinstalled. So, is it possible to remove terrazzo flooring?!? How does that work?
