The question of whether it is possible to laminate an old wooden floor is generally the case where the condition of the floor is so critical that the repair and restoration work does not have the desired effect. Laminate floors are a more affordable solution. It remains only to find out in which cases it is possible and what is necessary for it.

Even though the choice at the bottom of the floor is based on a material that is as practical as the laminate, you always need to know how to place it properly for a long time.

7. The advantages of laying laminate on old parquet.

Soil conditions adjusted in the installation of parquet

 This may be a coating that has lost its aesthetics but at the same time maintains its performance, as well as a floor that has become unusable with foul cracks. You can only plan laminate floors in an old wooden floor if you can repair small areas and not all floors.

A partial restoration with the removal of individual lamellae and their subsequent replacement can solve the problem of the old soil at the stage of preparing the laminate structure.

Luckily the floor was well maintained and had no serious problems
The resulting spaces are filled:

•     Chipboard
•     Wooden boards made of moisture-resistant wood (charm, oak, larch, etc.)
•     Multi-layer plywood.

New elements must be selected with maximum dimensional accuracy to prevent air from entering cavities. Otherwise, moisture and a steady stream of air create favorable conditions for mold growth under the laminate base, not for moisture resistant materials.

The replaceable panels on the floor are fixed with nails or with waterproof adhesive for concrete base. The last step is the mastic of the remaining gaps.



Replacing problematic fins in the old floor: a necessary step to create a solid laminate base

After replacing damaged or damaged floors another problem of the old soil remains unresolved: the cry. The cause is micro-cracks in the tables and the increasing distance between them. The solution could be to push a round wooden tip, which has been carefully glued between the boards, or to screw in a galvanized steel defense during the subsequent cutting of the head.

At this point, no installation elements need to be saved to permanently scratch the problem and maximize the life of the new coating: the laminate.

Lamination can reduce deficiencies

The choice of laminate as a finishing material for the finished parquet is no coincidence. The material plate is a multi-layered plate that imitates natural wood species. Visually, a floor of this kind hardly differs from the floor, it is low maintenance, requires a minimum of maintenance, is decades old and what is important is not as expensive as the floor. If you prefer, you can choose a laminate in the old parquet (video instructions simplify the installation task), imitating not just wood, but marble, brick, granite and even leather.

An example of applying laminate to a cork substrate.

The amount of material for the substrate is calculated taking into account all hard to reach areas with a surcharge of five percent. It is more convenient to calculate the archive material of the packaged substrate in special rolls.

To calculate the required amount of laminate, the area of ​​the workpiece is measured and 15% added to the number obtained for trimming. The most economical variant is the classical variant of the arrangement in parallel rows. The diagonal installation of panels requires a higher and therefore expensive material consumption.

Installation must be done correctly

If you follow a few simple guidelines, applying the laminate to the floor can be done independently. This is true even if the work has been done by professionals. The algorithm is simple:

• Preparation of the surface. The old laminate is repaired in areas that require intervention, testing and polishing. The surface must be smooth, with no cracks or height differences.
• Substrate of the device. An additional intermediate layer between laminate and parquet extends the life of the material and improves the thermal and acoustic insulation properties of the floor.
• The boards are held by the locking system.
• Position the siding so that the light falls parallel to the seams for a solid effect.
• The first strips are placed at a distance of 2-3 cm from the wall to prevent deformation of the floor during operation.
•     Place the boards with grooves in the wall, the remaining part is cut with a chainsaw.
•     The next row is placed in the same place as the previous one in a checkerboard pattern, avoiding cross connections and excess material.
•     Secure the locks between the rows by inserting the protruding part of the rail into the groove of the next one. Reinforce the resistance of the connection with adhesive. It is inserted into the cavity of the slot until the latch engages.

To summarize, it is not difficult to place the laminate in the old parquet floor with your own hands when the users take the time to study the features and process steps, to choose the tools and the necessary equipment. to fulfill the requirements. quality requirements

If you install the floor according to the instructions with the right tools, this should not be a problem.
Lay the laminate on the old floor.

Repair is problematic. Especially if this applies to second homes. The difficulties of a beginner are not only related to the wallpaper and the selection of new curtains, but also to more serious issues. Therefore, many people affected by repairs have raised the question of whether it is possible to put a laminate in an old wooden floor.

The soil condition must be adjusted in the installation

Experts for repair secrets try not to breathe new life into the old apartment. This is because he has to pay twice in the end. Although they were responsible for the manufacture of parquet floors in the Soviet era, laminate is the best option for those who want to preserve parquet floors.

Therefore, the question that will arise is quite natural: Can the laminate be placed in the old parquet? The answer is positive. It is necessary to know some subtleties of this process to avoid disappointment about the results of the work. By the way, all the work can be done independently with some experience.

Parquet floors have a disadvantage

Parquet is a floor made of solid wood panels stacked upwards.

Parquet respects the environment and natural safety, but also has disadvantages. Below are:

•  High costs;
•  Large mass of product, impractical for transportation;
•  The need for a constant quality care;
•  The presence of low elasticity on the polished wood surface treated with a varnish for various mechanical purposes;
•     The sensitivity of the parquet to excessive moisture results in remarkable joints between the planks.

Excellent replacement for parquet, called "laminate". It perfectly matches the rhythm of modern life. It's easy to say. In addition, the laminate covers many of the disadvantages of parquet.

In addition, removing the old coating not only takes a long time, but also requires longer work to remove it. After that, a soil project has to be prepared to apply a new material. And that again costs time and mental strength. The best option would be to place the laminate in the existing old parquet. The latter is an excellent basis for a new genre. It is important to remember the main condition: the uniformity of the genital surface.

Placement of parquet on the floor can be done in various ways

Despite the many advantages, laying the laminate in old parquet has some disadvantages. This must be taken into account in the soil repair. The disadvantages of this repair are:

•     The appearance of unresolved defects: squeaky, limp;
•     Deterioration of the condition of the new soil with poor inspection of the old material;
•     The appearance of holes with misalignment of the old coating.

All the disadvantages of parquet with inadequate diagnosis and dissolution are transferred to the laminate. First, a responsible approach is needed to prepare the basis for a new coating.

Many benefits from using laminates from old parquet

The placement of the laminate only works if all color shades are taken into account. They refer both to the collection of dishes and to the preparation of foundations. Therefore, the process of laying the laminate in the previous coating has many advantages. These advantages include:

    It is not necessary to completely repair the floor. The replacement of the material capital is not only associated with time and equipment costs, but also with a large amount of dust, whose presence necessarily accompanies the whole process. At the same time, the disposal and disposal of the waste generated must be considered in advance. All this can be avoided if you leave the old parquet floor.

• Significant reduction in soil repair time. The dismantling of the old coating does not take place in one day. After all, not only must the old tables be deleted, but all other steps of the process must be considered as well.
• Downsizing ground inspection is a labor-intensive job that involves a series of jobs. If you lay laminate on the floor, you can reduce this list.
• Considerable material savings as the base does not need to be prepared for a new material.
• Extra acoustic and thermal insulation thanks to old parquet.

Before doing so, you should, in particular without experience, consult a specialist who will help you to install the laminate correctly. If you do not want to fix yourself, you should trust the pros. This not only keeps your nerves and wallet in order, but also saves time. Because the repair does not tolerate excessive initiative.

Now the soil is gaining popularity as a soil type. The parquet floor occupies a leading position thanks to its functionality, reliability and longevity. When, a few decades ago, such a dwelling was regarded as a luxury and reminiscent of the wealth of its owners, it is now everywhere in large country houses and small ordinary dwellings. As a result of the operation, he loses his call. Scratches, cracks can occur inside, it can crack, it can swell when wet cleaning, a separate band can be solved. Replace all expensive floor coverings completely. It is made of wood, which allows it to undergo several processes. In the article we will examine the possibility of a partial restoration of the parquet at home, depending on the defect that has occurred.

Material prepared to replace a damaged parquet

There are two types of partial repairs on this floor:

• Surface;
• Repair individual cubes.
• The first type includes: the removal of cracks, potholes and splinters, the restoration or color change of the plate.

Do not hold the restoration of the floor firmly for a long time. If your parquet is deteriorated, it does not shine due to the amount of scratches on the surface, if it creates an unpleasant crack under your feet, if so. At this time, the surface is swollen or detached when several rods fall from their seats are. The sooner the repair process starts, the less it will be quick and profitable. A set of materials for the restoration of parquet. For the planned elimination of errors you need special equipment and tools that you can purchase in a hardware store.

Also, be careful not to scratch the fresh polish with soft soles. Required materials: new tools to replace damaged floors;

• Glue and putty for wood;
• Oil,Spot,
• Painting and varnishing

Prepare to isolate the problematic part

They are now ready to repair the wooden floor. Restoration of the parquet without scratching. It belongs to the category of surface repair and is realized in several steps. We remove the base and the powder, they will disturb. With a grinding machine we remove the previous paint layer. Use the manual cycle in hard-to-reach areas. Use a special hairdryer in the absence of a car. Warm the paint surface and clean it with a spatula.

After preparation, clean the room dust and dust with a vacuum cleaner.
Check the surface and, if necessary, the putty in separate areas. Then go through the grinder a second time, but with a coarse graining accessory to remove rough spots. Vacuum. Do not leave dust behind. Now shape the plan with the first coat of paint. Apply with a roller or a wide brush, allow to dry. The fine sandpaper installed in the nozzle mill abrades the surface, removes the dust and makes the second layer of paint. Lacquer of restored parquet It is important to apply a varnish to the fibers on the parquet. The last layer of dry polish for at least three days. Inside, close all doors and windows, avoid drafts and do not allow dust to fall onto the freshly painted surface.

Parts that are scratched or cracked

If there is a pet in the house, scratches will appear on the surface of your pet's claws. With a little scratching, they can be removed with a wax stick that clogs the micro cracks. This is a cost-effective recovery option that requires little time and effort. For example, when there are deep scratches or deep cracks on the floor, they move furniture without upholstery on the feet. You can not do this without cleaning the paint. Clean it as described above and remove a thin layer of wood with a manual or automatic cycle.

It is difficult for an inexperienced beginner to achieve an excellent result. Be prepared to repeat the tweeted procedure several times. Then carefully remove the dust residues in the room, the floor and the putty and cover them with a coat of varnish. Repeat the process several times until it is completely smooth.

On parquet floors this problem often occurs

Although the parquet floor is made of hardwood, it is not immune to significant damage. In this case, the actions are the same to eliminate scratches. They dust with dust after cycling. Paint the defects with a broad spatula. Try to maintain the movement in the direction of the wood fibers. Since the filling mixture consists of wood dust, chips and treated potholes do not occur in the general context.

This condition of parquet must be cut to follow the condition of the floor

The spaces between the matrices appear due to the ability of the wood to absorb and tear water when the room air is dry. The solution to this problem is simple. It is also necessary to remove the protective layer. Suck up each crack carefully and clean the trash with a knife. The open and clean grooves cover a filling solution with wood dust. Then it also restores the lacquer layer in several layers.

Dirt must be cleaned before installing parquet

An unpleasant sound floor is released for three reasons. First, the bars that were released from time to time, second, the wedges that were pressed between wall and floor, and thirdly, they seemed to be empty under the boards. By removing it is not necessary to remove the paint and scratch the plane.

The floors are laid out on a plywood sheet or ruler. Over time, they collapse and errors occur. At this point, the ground begins to crack. You can easily fix the defect. It defines a plate from which the crunch is distributed. Drill a hole and pump the cement or glue with a large syringe. When working with cement mortar you should consider fast curing, so do everything carefully and quickly. When the mixture stops pumping and appears on the surface, complete the procedure and press the zone. Remove the weighting agent and spatula from the drilling site after two days. What if the crisis is very well located? Then you have to repeat the entire surface. Not only does this remove the protective layer, it also completely rewrites the floor.

Damage like this parquet must be replaced

The biggest discomfort can be considered when the panels are illuminated. This suggests that the rods were bloated when the placement technology was breached or water sank beneath the tree. If you hit the bottom of the shield, you can not do without a complete restriction.

When small areas are swollen by moisture, we heat the floor surface. After a certain characteristic smell of chemicals has occurred, the treated area is stressed. Its weight should be 12 kg per square meter or less. After 24 hours, we check whether the roughness has decreased, and carry out the process again. If the equipment was damaged when laying the floor, the space between the floor and the wall was not considered. Dry each stone under natural conditions and then bend the ground.

Carefully repaired parquet frames

 When restoring parquet floors, it is often noticeable that some bars are no longer held in position. In this case, old tapes need to be replaced, and additional restoration work is required throughout the plan. The procedure will be like this

The procedure will be as follows:

• We eliminate the paint to be found and need to be repaired.
• If the distance between the two bars is more than half a centimeter, it must be replaced
• Small slits, pour the glue on it, hang up the weight and let it act for several hours.
• If the rods are replaced with a hammer and chisel, gently remove them by dividing them in the middle.
• The remaining wood glue is cleaned with a small spatula. Adjust the size of the replacement bar.
• Lubricate the clean surface with glue. Position the bar so that its grooves align with the tilting slots and press firmly.
• After 7 days under the weighting means, the entire floor is covered with putty, polished and treated with varnish as in the other examples.

Many equipment available on the market for parquet

 At the end I would like to tell you how to get rid of the vital activities of young children. You can often see a nuisance like chewing gum in a fresh tree. The solvent helps, but the stains remain. Use an ordinary ice cube. If you hold it on modeling clay and freeze, you can easily remove the "decoration" from the parquet surface without damaging it.

The flawless parquet floor is very pleasant

So that the floor is always in perfect condition and does not need to be restored, just follow the simple operating rules. Three phenomena can damage a wooden floor: ultraviolet, a considerable moisture or absence, sand. Moisture plays an important role in the sustainability of the board. If the room is too wet or the floor is often washed, the table will swell with time. In addition, under the base can develop a mold that is already hazardous to health. Dry air dries dishes and releases them. Under the action of the ultraviolet tree, it changes color, becoming dark and ugly. The sand ruthlessly scrapes a smooth floor.



Therefore, it is recommended that the room is in slippers and does not walk on street shoes. It is advisable to put on a small carpet before entering the room, where you must clean the sole at each entrance. Window blinds prevent the floor from becoming darker. And wash the floor with a damp cloth only, at most once a week.

Conclusion

The restoration of the old wooden floor is relevant. Changing the entire floor requires a lot of time and money. Even a novice beginner can restore the ground with his own hands while having the necessary tools, patience and the most important desire.

Natural flooring is a natural decorative pattern on the floor, excellent wear resistance, easy cleaning and a healthy indoor climate. All these positive qualities ensured the popularity and application of parquet and flooring in almost every room.

Only high humidity can limit the use of traditional parquet. A solid wood leaf or part of it can quickly lose its shape and swell.

This problem can be solved with moisture resistant floors: a variety of high quality natural materials.

Table of contents :

1. Moisture resistant parquet composition.
2. Popular manufacturers.
3. Advantages and disadvantages.
4. Recommendations to choose from.

The composition of parquet that can hold water

The heterogeneous structure of the moisture-resistant parquet ensures soil density, flexibility, reasonable material costs and durability even in high humidity.
Some rooms in residential buildings have objectively a humid environment: showers, bathrooms and even a kitchen.



Use moisture-resistant floors in a country house or cottage, where the proximity of the floor and temperature changes cause high humidity in the rooms. Excellent impermeable appearance of parquet and trading companies. It is used in swimming pools, sanatoriums, leisure centers, beauty salons and not only.

The soil structure comprises the following elements:

• The upper decorative layer is a solid wood lath (4 mm). This is the texture and the top-level pattern that the owners will see. The manufacturers offer an impressive number of boards among the most diverse: oak, ash, beech and exotic trees. In addition, such technological processes that determine the appearance of the soil can be carried out: brushing, chamfering, bleaching and the like.
• The intermediate layer is composed of mixed species, less valuable and therefore less expensive. This layer provides the density of the fabric and occupies a thickness of 9 mm. Here the parquet floors of the castle are cut.
• The bottom layer (base) of the fabric (thickness - 1.5 mm) is made of sheet metal. It provides soil resistance against deformation and flexibility of the soil under tension.
• Some wear a coat of surface finish in a separate layer. The varnish provides resistance to the wear of the fabric and the beauty of the product. The high-quality canvas is available with a uniformly applied paint, which must be well secured. The treatment with special oil formulations protects against moisture and prevents swelling of the floor.

Many wood companies are already famous in the world

The moisture resistance parameters provide such moments:
The application of a special oil composition that helps to repel moisture.
Use of wood species that are less sensitive to moisture.
The use of additional heat treatments of raw materials.

 Among manufacturers of moisture-resistant parquet there are foreign manufacturers:

•  Fairwood (Austria)
•  Teak Austria (Austria)
•  Mirako (Austria)
•  Parador (Germany)
•  Tarkett (France)
•  Alpine wood (Germany, Russia)
•  Wooden bee (Holland).

With a variety of manufacturers, you can choose a unique decoration of the product, which creates a warm atmosphere in the house through the use of high quality floors.

Hardwood floors have advantages and disadvantages

 The advantage of the moisture-resistant floor is, of course, much more:

• Almost completely natural soil
• The variety of decoration options: a variety of wood species, the number of stripes, the different textures and the special treatment allow you to place the floor at the customer's discretion.
• Easy installation through the layout of the patented locking of the plate.
• The same development makes it possible to assemble the soil quickly and, if necessary, defuse it
• Due to the presence of the substrate under the floor slab, the floor remains stable and demonstrates its flexibility under tensile loads.
• Moisture-resistant parquet is characterized by its high resistance and expediency. The product is easy to wash. The pattern of your drawing does not fade and does not wear off.
• Long service life
• The structure of the product has a positive effect on its value.
• The main advantage is the possibility to lay elegant and elegant floors in high humidity.

Before choosing wood floors need consideration

Parquet, although produced according to general principles, can have completely different properties, which affects the quality of the soil. The average cost of the product is 3000 rubles. and depends on the wood species and other factors.

When selecting, pay attention to the following parameters:

•   The quality of the sealing edges of the product.
•   The identity of the boards between them in a package and as a whole.
•   The quality of the application of lacquer and protective oil.
•   No gaps between the slats.
•   No burr in the blocking connection.
•   Even the packaging of the material can speak of the quality of the moisture-resistant board.

To replace insignificant tiles in showers and baths, you can use a waterproof impregnation. However, it is necessary to carefully address the topic of your choice and to hear the recommendations of the experts.

The cost of the panel may depend on the type of wood, the type of protective coating, the method of application and processing, and other issues

Cleaning of parquet floor with oil paint

<
The cover with oil and wax are the most environmentally friendly and natural, even heavy loads, a parquet coating. The oil particles penetrate into the wood, protect and nourish it, while the soil can breathe. On the ground surface, only a small protective film is formed.

Thanks to the protective properties of the oil, it has so far been possible to preserve the parquet floor in all palaces, as regular and regular care means that it is not necessary to crush the parquet floor evens under stress.

The secret is that oil-coated parquet can be locally restored, stains and dirt are removed without sanding the entire surface. Professional maintenance of parquet in Moscow at low prices, specialists of the company "Parquet Meter".

Periodic dry and wet cleaning
The floor, which is covered with oil, has anti-fouling properties, but requires periodic cleaning of dust and sand, which accumulates in particularly derivable areas.

The dry cleaning can be done with a vacuum cleaner or a broom that gets dirty at least once a week. It is recommended to use a mop and a microfiber cloth.

The wet cleaning is done with a mop with a special parquet floor cleaner, e.g., OSMO Wisch-Fix. It effectively removes small amounts of dirt and nourishes the wood thanks to its oil content, preventing it from drying out. It is important not to use aggressive, universal cleaners as these remove the protective layer of the parquet.

This cleaning takes place every week in a normal apartment, or every day, for places like restaurants or cafeterias.

It is also important to have carpets at the entrance of the room to catch the sand and dirt of the shoes.
Intensive cleaning of impurities For intensive floor cleaning use OSMO WRP. It cleans the floor of dirt and restores the structure of the protective layer of oil and wax, giving the floor a fresh look.

This treatment should be based on the level of contamination, about once every three months in the ward and once a week in public places such as cafeterias and restaurants. In heavily loaded rooms care oil should also be used. This will help to restore the coating without forming a film on the parquet surface.
Cleaning and restorative products are applied with a squeegee, e.g., OSMO Mop, or a FloorCenter-Polisher for a large surface treatment.Update of the protective layer

Even with careful care of the floors, it is necessary to renew the protective layer of oiled and waxed parquet regularly. But unlike the painted floor, it is not necessary to grind the old floor. And it is only possible to update the damaged areas locally.
The update process is fairly simple, but requires special skills.
At the beginning, the soil is thoroughly cleaned of all contaminants. Then apply a thin coat of oil with a roller, cheek or polisher using hard wax oil wax.

It is pleasant to entrust this process to professionals because too much oil can lead to negative effects. Masters helps you save time and money, and you get an updated floor that will thrill you and your family for years to come.

Error in installing parquet caused many problems

When installing parquet, there are often several unpleasant moments, such as cracks, landslides, warping, drying and others and mostly because of errors in installing
In this article we would like to give short answers to frequently asked questions.

In principle, all these questions and answers face the mistakes of placing a huge table. Due to its size, a solid table requires a lot of adhesives, fasteners, and uniformity of the base. The stress that occurs in large elements are infinitely higher, so the separation and expansion force is stronger.

A full description of the causes leading to the occurrence of certain deficiencies can be found in the articles on the placement of the parquet.
Errors in laying parquet have irreparable consequences.

Basic questions about floor installation:

1. Why does parquet crack?


Not only parquet can be weeping but also plywood. The crunch means that the structure is movable and the individual elements move when pressed. There can be several reasons: poor flooring, bad glue, poor quality parquet and plywood. There was a break from the base, see point 4.

2. On the floors are cracks or why the floor?

"Dried" wood, that is, has reduced its volume. The floors were wet during installation due to changes during manufacture and storage. The humidity in the room may be too low. The "contraction" of the parquet occurs when the humidity of the room is lower than the moisture of the panels. The evaporation of water from the wood causes a reduction of the parquet volume. If the process is acute, i.e., rapid, deformation or sagging may occur.

3. The edges of the cubes are rolled up, a box was formed, the edges of the floors are wavy.

Technologically, this is due only to the expansion of the top layer of the plate when the soil is drier. Then, due to the stress within the die, one turn is obtained, a similar feature is used in the thermostats, which connect two different metals in a single set. When heated, an element expands faster and the structure bends. Causes: a strong increase in humidity, the drying time has not developed tail before painting, the application of a large amount of paint in a day, the presence of unstable parquet in the film. We do not consider the water consumption because of the evidence.

4. Why did the soil fall off the ground?
 
If the soil is detached from the base, but has not been inflated and deformed, it is the reason for the glue, usually, quality parquet. The parquet has only glue, just press the nails for the first time. See what is on the bottom of the dice. When the tree is clean, the parquet is far from glue, glue - separation of plywood or rule, the rule - the destruction of the latter. Cheap adhesives when drying become limestone, remember! About the rule, read the articles about the placement of the soil, see above. Maybe the floor wastes glue or hurry to start the cycle, which did not allow the glue to adhere and block parquet. If a solid parquet or table "gets under your feet" or "rings", then this is just a consequence of a violation of the monolithic construction. And of course you cannot say anything about the moisture regime. An uncompacted mortar with a high water content, which works using moisture (plaster, sealing cement, etc.) without observing the rules that cause an increase in the moisture of the parquet and thus cause the wood to crack or deform. the last.


If the floor has been raised or removed from the concrete plywood, look also at the bottom of the plywood. A clean sheet: the glue did not hold, especially in the glue, in the recess of the rule, the remains of concrete, the destruction of the substrate. Do not rush to "drive" the quality of the materials. Maybe the technology is disturbed: the quality and strength of the rule, the drying time, still with primers.

5. The floor swelled or rose like a "little house".

the volume of wood increased with the increase in internal humidity, the plates rested against each other, there was no space to expand the parquet when it was swollen. Maybe the rule was wet, maybe there was a lot of glue, it did not fit the wood. There was no technological gap between the floor and the wall. For the same reasons, the plywood can be swollen. The parquet floor

If the ground was a wave after placement, then the reasons are the same. Due to the moisture change, the parquet began to expand, the internal tension appeared and as a result it increased in weak spots. It can manifest as single bulges and along the entire line of speech. Only for waves, you can take the deformation of the stumps, see point 3. It is possible to correct qualitatively only one partition with a possible truncation of the stumps or an analysis of the problem area to the next wall. All types of bites and injections are good in individual cases, if the damage is much better not to use it. The shooting of the rods are a "dead envelope" as it is.

6. The floor has fallen.

There are gaps under the floor. Perhaps the rule was not homogenous at first or collapsed during work and operation. This shows the quality of the rule. Read the articles about stacking.

7. When walking, the floor moves or "breathes".
 See point 4.

8. Under the floor is a void.

See point 4.

9. Dark spots appeared on the floor.
 
The moisture of the substrate is too high. From the interaction with water, the tree turns black, rots or forms fungi. These black and gray spots spread quickly through the wood. For example, a parquet floor laid the floor, the painters covered it with a film, and a month later they saw dark spots on the surface. The answer to the question of why dark stains appeared on the floor has also been completely transferred to the parquet and laminate floor. The protective lacquer layer acts like a film and prevents the escape of moisture. Look for the reason below. See the examples in the pictures for reference!

10. Draw the placement of the curve.

The relocation line has been eliminated. Low qualification of the teacher. He tried to condense the dice and changed them every time. As a result, at the end of the piece, the line "left". For example, the cubes in the tree must be offset by 90 degrees. If the parquet is of poor quality, the assistant attempts to make the end elements tighter, thereby reducing the angle, resulting in a curvature of the common line.

11. Matte, dark or whitish stains appeared under the varnish.

They did not let the glue dry. There is no room to go to the solvent and water, so there are dull spots under the paint. The grinding was carried out poorly, the remains of the chemistry (glue, lime and others) remained in the parquet and it came to a chemical reaction.

12. Broken or broken parquet.

This occurs when the moisture content of the wood changes, which changes the volume of the tree. If a sudden change, the parquet is exposed to a heavy load and due to the gap has no time to react with expansion or even drying. Causes: a strong increase in humidity, the drying time has not developed tail before painting, the application of a large amount of paint in a day, the presence of unstable parquet in the film. Bad flooring - too wet or too dry. We do not consider the water consumption because of the evidence. So, when the parquet is cracked, it is not difficult to understand the physics of the process, but there can be several reasons.

Solid plank and parquet are the best for wooden floors

The wooden floor is a classic that suits every interior, in a city apartment and a country house. The wood has unique properties of thermal insulation and sound absorption, has a pleasantly warm surface and excellent appearance. The performance characteristics of the different types of wood may differ as well as the color. While some rocks easily survive cracks and falls, others can be damaged by simple heels. Both are used only in different rooms and in different types of soil. We determine which wooden floor is the best and which type of wood is best to choose in which case.

Types of wooden floors

This section could be neglected if the parquet is not interchanged with a parquet floor and a solid parquet floor. In fact, only two types of solid wood floors are: solid plank and Parquet.



Both products are made of solid wood, the treatment only served to, the necessary operation or aesthetic quality to live. It is a natural and half material.

The difference between a massive hallway and the parquet is huge: the parquet is much smaller. The average size of parquet slats are 50 * 600 mm, with a thickness of 15-16 mm, and a fixed length table can be 60 cm and up to 6 m, width from 7 to 20 cm, the thickness varies greatly.

The parquet board cannot be attributed to the matrix covers because it consists of three layers and only the top is made of expensive wood, the rest is cheaper softwood. Parquet board: cheaper price pile cover, whose longevity is lower than that of a full board, which can be explained by the lower number of possible polishes, because the valuable wood layer is many times thinner.

The choice of wood species depends more on where the flooring is used, under what conditions it is set up and what loads affect it. Regarding the rock and the type of coating, most types of wood are used, with few exceptions, for both parquet and solid wood. For a parquet panel, ash, beech, pine, birch and oak are the most commonly used.

Oak: the best option for the production of all types of soils. This is the standard for evaluating other types of wood. For strength and hardness, oak is often compared to concrete. The color palette of the wood is wide, there are about 200 shades: from light yellow to dark brown interspersed with green and gray. Over time, the oak has a slightly darker color, which makes it even more luxurious. In the wood, the annual rings are clearly visible.

Solid parquet and oak parquet can be made with or without lacquer. Everything depends on the personal preferences and the style of the interior: a table without lacquer - an option for the Scandinavian and ecological style, with lacquer - for the Rococo style, classic, modern.

The main advantages of oak:

high hardness, strength and durability, abrasion resistance, therefore, oak floors are used not only in homes, but also in restaurants, nightclubs, offices and other places with a large load;
High resistance to fire and moisture, oak wood is not subject to decay and spread of the fungus. Because these characteristics, he found an application in places with high humidity (kitchens, bathrooms and even bathrooms with saunas);
high sound insulation properties;
Excellent aesthetic qualities, beautiful natural pattern.

The disadvantage is only one: a lot of effort, but the investment is worthwhile, because the parquet or the oak panel can lasts for several decades.
Application: Residential and public spaces, corridors, bathrooms, kitchens, saunas and baths.

Ash - direct competitor of oak

From ash are also made and parquet, and a massive board, it is used to make a parquet board - it is equally good in all areas of use. By strength, he even bypasses the oak, and the fact that it is from the ash makes baseball bats and pens of sports equipment, speaks for itself. Wood has a light tint, so it is often used in cases where it is necessary to expand visually the room and bring warmth into it.

Benefits:

High strength, wear resistance and elasticity. Ashes are used to stop gyms, not to mention residential and business facilities;
excellent appearance;
good thermal insulation properties.

At least a high price and low resistance to low temperatures and temperature fluctuations, but for an apartment it will not be a problem.

Siberian larch - durability and moisture resistance

Of all types of cones, larch is the most durable and durable. The unique yield of the wood is explained by the more complicated growing conditions. Under constant exposure to moisture, the larch does not rot, but becomes denser. In strength it is only slightly less than oak, and for more durability it achieves it. In many European monuments with a hundred-year history, larch soils are still preserved. Also, the stacks on which Venice was built are of this breed.

Softwood: pine, spruce and fir

Pine, spruce and fir wood has gained popularity due to its low cost. If the funds allow, it's better to stop at other races. Use softwood in rooms where it is not common to walk with shoes. It creates a solid table and a floor (it is important that the elements have a connection likes a groove), and it is also used to make different layers of a parquet plate.

The properties of softwood are far from ideal, so its use is very limited:
Pine is characterized by the presence of a large amount of resin, which protects the wood from rot, has an excellent appearance, has a high vapor permeability, and releases phytoncides into the air, which is a natural antiseptic. The main disadvantage is the low hardness, so that even approximately heavy furniture feet can leave marks. The use is permitted in bedrooms and living rooms;
Spruce is even weaker than pine, so it is extremely rare to produce a floor covering;
Spruce is cheap, looks good, has healthy properties, does not tend to cry and does not cry at high temperatures, but fears moisture and has little resistance. As a floor covering we recommend no fir.

Alder: durability and benefits

Resistance to deformation; The tannins contained in the wood have a positive influence on the microclimate of the room; adequate resistance to moisture.
Scope of application: bedroom, living room, children, bathroom.

Maple - strength and elasticity

The maple wood is considered one of the brightest and gets under the sunshine a pleasant golden tone. The main advantages of the unique model, hardness, bending strength, elasticity, but the use of a maple on board with differences in moisture content is recommended, so this floor is only used in rooms and salons, and it is not very common

Cedar: expensive and reliable
Much of the cedar wood is exported, so it's not so easy to get here, and it's expensive. Cedar is valued for its many benefits:

Resistance to high temperatures and humidity due to the special fiber structure of the wood;
high content of medicinal essential oils in wood; high strength and durability.
Application: Houses, kitchens, bathrooms, saunas, bathrooms.

Exotic tree species

The wood of exotic trees usually has exceptional operating characteristics and an unique pattern and color, but it also costs a lot. If the decorations allow you to decorate the interior in an unusual way, you can choose one of your many exotic breeds:

Bamboo does not apply to trees, but is used to make parquet and parquet boards. The manufacturing technology consists of heating, smoothing the bars and pressing into special chambers. It turns out to be a solid board with an interesting design that is not as expensive as its exotic counterparts, because bamboo is growing fast;

Wenge differs in dark brown to black almost wood. It is strong, firm, easily withstands mechanical influences, resistant to fungi. When the drying technology is broken, the wood starts to crack, so it is very important to be careful when buying it.

Exotic breeds also include Jatoba, Yarra, Sucupira, Mutenia and incredibly strong kempas, as well as water-resistant and iroko-resistant teak. If not exotic, walnuts, pears, cherries and acacia trees can be used, but they are not often used to make floors.

When buying a wooden floor, pay particular attention to the geometry and characteristics of the wood surface: the elements should be easily joined with no cracks, blues and other defects. A manufacturer who praises packs the products into a hard carton and a thermal film. It is worth taking the time to choose and study the market, then decades to enjoy the beautiful grounds
