Hello parquet enthusiasts,
we are building a one-and-a-half-story house and plan to install oak country-style plank flooring. We have a large L-shaped room for the living/dining area and open kitchen (about 60m² (645 sq ft)). We intend to install and glue the flooring ourselves. However, some craftsman friends strongly advised against doing it ourselves. We have installed laminate flooring several times before and feel confident about that. Does engineered wood flooring really have to be installed only by a professional?
We understand that an expansion joint will likely need to be incorporated (where the corner of the L is, or where the screed will have an expansion joint).
We would also be interested in your experiences with underfloor heating and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery regarding the lower indoor humidity. Because of these conditions, some specialists have advised us against parquet, as larger gaps can occur in winter, which is less suitable for wooden flooring.
Thank you for your feedback,

Sanding oiled parquet is generally not ideal, and sanding it can cost almost as much as installing new flooring.According to whom?Regards, Bauexperte

I would like to pick up on this topic again.
Is it possible to sand 2.5mm (0.1 inch) oak parquet engineered plank flooring installed as a floating floor at least once?
Are there any other experiences with parquet flooring? I had a conversation this morning with two coworkers who both have engineered plank flooring (Mafi & Weitzer) and are very satisfied (one of them mentioned something about "patina"... hmm), while another has Haro strip parquet and is now removing it from the living room to replace it with laminate.
I am facing a choice and still need flooring for the bedroom, office, and fitness room. I would prefer parquet in the bedroom, but I keep hearing horror stories – some say this, others say that.
