Concrete over finished hardwood flooring

DellaPorta24 | Posted in Construction Techniques on

Hi all, 

I have 3/4 inch hardwood hickory floors currently. I was thinking about changing the look to concrete.

Can I pour over the hardwood floors or do I have to tear them up? 

 

Thank you

    "Concrete" can mean a dozen

    "Concrete" can mean a dozen different things, from a 6" steel-reenforced slab to concrete-toned laminated flooring.

      I think the word "pour" in

      I think the word "pour" in the question gave it away.

    Why?

    I'm a big fan of concrete floors, but why would you even consider this?
