In any interior, parquet flooring looks elegant and elegant. However, it requires accuracy and proper care. Every few years, experts recommend changing the varnish. However, even with careful handling on the floor, chips, cracks or floorboards may appear. Parquet repair is not worth a lot of money, but it can be done independently.
First you need to find out what kind of damage we are dealing with. If the parquet just started to creak in a certain area, then this indicates that the parquet boards have moved away from the floor below. There are two ways to fix this.
The easiest way is to make small holes in the seams of the parquet and pump glue under the parquet board with a syringe through them. Press the board with a heavy load from above and leave to dry. So that the holes were not visible, you can then cycle the entire parquet and cover it with new varnish. If you need I advise you to turn to professionals so as not to spoil the surface with your actions.
The second method is more difficult, but more reliable. The parquet section is disassembled at the seams, and then re-glued and assembled. The main thing is to carefully clean the floor from glue and debris, as well as process the boards themselves with sandpaper. In this case, as a final stage, it is necessary to cycle the surface.
Another type of damage is dropped boards. If the board has moved away from the floor, this most often indicates a poor quality adhesive. Therefore, we check whether the neighboring floorboards are good to hold. Then we clean the floor and the board from the remnants of glue, cover it with carpentry glue and glue it in place. Sushim. From above the surface is skimmed and varnished.
Sometimes, cloves with which it was strengthened begin to fall out of the old parquet. In this case, they need to be removed and replaced with self-tapping screws. The heads of the screws must be closed with a stopper and cut to the floor level.
But if spots appeared on the parquet, then most likely the parquet should be changed, because such damage appears only when the floorboard is thinning. It can no longer be replaced and restored.
If large scores and cracks appear on your floor, you need to restore the coating itself. To do this, free the room from furniture, remove the baseboard. Thoroughly clean the floor and wipe with a damp cloth. Then, using a manual grinding machine or a drum machine, we cycle the floor. Do this in strips of parquet laying from the center to the edges. Since the surface is cycled several times, do not forget to periodically remove particles of debris with a vacuum cleaner. Be sure to work in a mask.
After hitching in places of large chips, the surface must be putty. To do this, with a spatula, carefully apply special putty on the surface. Shade thoroughly and dry. Next, loop again. After polishing, thoroughly clean the floor from small particles of dirt.
Getting started with varnish. Transparent varnish is quickly poured in a small amount onto the floor and spread with a brush or roller. The main thing is to blend well, then the varnish will lie evenly and gently. Then we do the same over the entire surface. It is better to start from the window and go to the opposite side.
Dry the first coat of varnish. Then we skin with fine sandpaper and repeat the operation again. After finishing drying everything will be ready. You can install skirting boards and make furniture.
