Should you install Parquet flooring over a rubber floor?
You could but would you want to? There are some things to consider in this situation. First, the condition of the parquet. Are there loose spots? Will adding hardwood over it present height issues in doorways or adjoining flooring (i.e. tile, carpet, vinyl,etc). Will the baseboard now look to low? But by removing the parquet your given an opportunity to address the above conditions as well as things like: (1) tightening loose subfloor boards with screws or nailing and (2) replacing damaged subfloor wood if any. Most likely the parquet is installed on an underlayment. If the parquet is glued to it you also remove the underlayment or you'll have to address the glue that is still stuck to it. Removing the parquet will entail more work but believe me you'll end up with a better job and a tighter nicer installation. Now..........if this parquet is somehow glue to concret that's another matter. Also I'd ask the company your considering buying your flooring from the same question you've posted here. Hope this helps. John Yes you can but you have to be aware that it will raise your floor level and you'll have to trim doors and door frames.

A Brief Guide to Parquet Flooring?
Almost anyone looking to purchase a home has heard of parquet floor. It’s considered an asset to a home and usually listed in the description. There are, however, different styles and different techniques to parquet floor. They styles can range from a floor that has a mosaic style to a more lavish floor with intricate inlaid designs. Historically, cheaper floors were made from plain wood. The wood strips were nailed together without much decoration or flourish. When the parquet technique was first developed, many builders embraced the technique. It gave them a way to make floors in less expensive homes unique and decorative. The wood used for parquet floors also proved to be durable and resistant to moisture and rot. Parquet floors can be made from almost any type of wood. The requirement for the wood is that it be strong and lasting. Woods such as oak, walnut, cherry, pine and maple are popular choices. Home owners may also choose to use mahogany or some type of tropical hardwood. These have a rich, dark color that gives the floor a luxurious tone. Parquet patterns are typically geometric figures that are angular. Herringbone, for example, is the most popular parquet pattern. Other common patterns include basket, chevron and brick. Some patterns use a combination of patterns. The result of technique can be a pattern that has floral or sunburst themes. Materials for a parquet floor can be found at most home improvement stores. Most of these stores also have employees that can give help and guidelines to someone installing a parquet floor. Typically, a parquet floor can be installed over a weekend. A homeowner can then create a pattern of their own to match the decor of the house. However, for a large room, or for a parquet floor with an ornate pattern, it is recommended to hire a professional. Parquet flooring is just one way a home owner can add a touch of warmth and creativity to their house. Patterns of parquet floors can range from simple geometric shapes, to larger and more ornate sunbursts. With the appropriate installation, parquet patterns can be more of a work of art than just a pattern on a floor.
