parquetry vesus floating floor
Hi,
I'm guessing this question might be asked often, but I have parquetry floors in my house that are in definite need of sanding and varnishing, but I'm getting mixed opinions depending on who I asked. I've been told that I should replace them with floating floors since it would be new and it would be easier to sell the house compared to parquetry, while I've also been told that I should keep the parquetry since it is not damaged and it would be better quality. I am looking for other opinion on this, any suggestions?

Parquet floors can generally only be sanded once and refinished. Depending on what shape they are in you might get by with a light sanding and a coat of poly to freshen them up.
A local realtor would be the best one to ask on how the flooring would affect resale values.

Once again I'm with Marksr on this one.
I see Parkay floors and and I'm thinking 1970's.
No such thing as "Parquerty" floors.
Post some pictures.
Laminate will not add a dime to the resale value.
