I had a water leak in my bath whci had engineered wood installed. I want to now apply ceramic tile over the engineered wood if possible? The wood is glued to the concrete floor.
It is not a good ideat to install ceramic over an engineered floor. Wood is not stable enough for ceramic, as minor movement will cause the ceramic to crack. The wood must be removed, and if the floor underneath is concrete you will be fine. If it is a wood subfloor, a concrete impregnated plywood must be installed first. (Such as Hardi-backer or Wonderboard) I am in the business, and if a customer insisted on installing ceramic on top of an engineered floor, as much as I like selling this stuff, I would turn the job down.
I'm installing an engineered wood floor in a second floor bedroom. Currently has a plywood subfloor in fairly decent shape. However there are some voids and gaps in the subfloor. What product should be used to fill these areas? Would ceramic tile adhesive work? Do the gaps between plywood sheets (maybe 1/8 gap) need to be taped and filled?Thanks?
Do NOT fill the gaps between the sheets of plywood! These need to be there to allow for wood expansion. In fact, if you don't have those gaps, run a circular saw, set at 3/4, down all the joints to open them up. With out this gap, if the plywood swells, it will buckle up at the joints. Voids in the subfloor like knot holes in the top ply aren't an issue. But dips and high spots are an issue. Make sure all the nail heads are flush (and add deck screws if there are any loose spots). Your flooring instructions should list the maximum dip/rise in a given run. If you've got low spots (cr@py carpenter didn't crown all the joists), you can cut pieces of roofing felt to fill in the void. If it takes several layers, feather them with progressively larger pieces, just like you'd feather a drywall joint. High spots can be taken down with a grinder or belt sander with 40 grit paper If you've got a floor with a lot of dips and rises, you can use a self leveling cement to bring it level. It's very thin, like a runny milkshake, and you spread a thin layer with a large floor squeegee. It's thin enough that it finds it's own level, puddling in the low spots. This is typically only needed for tile, but you could do it for wood/laminate.over a really bad subfloor
100 year old house has uneven hardwood floors on second floor. Initially I wanted to sand and refinish these, but they are not in good shape and are squeaking. Then I decided to put brand new hardwood or engineered (my favorite) wood on top of it, hoping to obtain a better look and less squeaking and noise downstairs (with the help of a foam underlayment). I am afraid that because the floors are uneven, the new engineered wood will not stay in place correctly. I wanted to level the floors, but the self-leveling cement would add too much weight on this old house.Is there a light, foam-like self leveling compound?Also, what's the way to lay the engineered wood in this situation, glue it or lay it floating? If glueing it, what about the underlayment? Do I have to glue that layer first and the glue the engineered wood on it?
Before you do anything, I would fix the squeaking because this won't go away. Check out This Old House website...they have a lot of good tips.
Does buffing engined hardwood floors really work? Could it take out scratches and slight water damage?
Engineered flooring can be treated just like regular hardwood flooring.... UP TO A POINT. Engineered flooring is a product made up of a thin veneer of the preferred wood applied to a plywood backing or base. You can do anything to this veneer that you would do to a solid hardwood, BUT you will be limited to how aggressive and how many times you can do it by the thickness of the veneer. You will eventually wear though the veneer and into the substrate. So unless the water damage has delaminated the flooring, slight sanding and buffing will help remove the damage provided you do not go too far

Solid wood flooring is the traditional way to install wooden floor, this approach has been proven for a long time, the most secure. It will be suspended in the floor, in addition to moisture performance is good, another advantage is breathable, can make the floor normal breathing, and adapt to each other to meet tight. The biggest advantage of this installation is also comfortable.

Wood floors will be deformed? How to deal with?
In fact, the solid wood floor after spreading, sometimes there will be local tile deformation, mainly because the ground is wet, and wet ground is often caused by the ground damp or local water seepage causes. The keel laying rack, due to swelling of wood shrinkage because the wood is different, and the vertical and horizontal scalability differ greatly, so the Dragon skeleton encounter tide can also occur after deformation, cracking and arching, so that the floor tile will appear. Matting method can effectively prevent the occurrence of the above. The method saves the keel frame, also can not talk about the problem of deformation. This kind of suspension shop is tested, and the test results show that the moisture permeability coefficient is very small, so it has good moisture proof performance.
