There is nothing more beautiful and natural than genuine wood floors. Even the most expensive tile or bulk gender will not be able to take quality and aesthetics with the most common tree.

The tree gives heat, reliability and comfort, but over time, even the most reliable wooden floors come into disrepair, and then there comes time for their overhaul. No, we will not talk about the replacement of the floors. Why waste time and money, when you can just cry cool the old wood and give the floor fresh and updated look!
What is cycle
With regular use, the cycloration of wooden floors must be carried out every 6-7 years. During this time, the lacquer is usually erased, small cracks or ugly scratches appear on the floor, which spoil appearance. And if you live in a wooden house, the walls can be easily sandwich and re-covered with varnish, but what to do with the floor? For these purposes, wise humanity has invented a special car, which operates on the principle of grinding mechanism, only in a more severe scale.
To cyclvic, you will need the following tools and materials:
- ripping machine;
- wire pile to remove old coating;
- screwdriver;
- drum grinding;
- abrasive materials (single-caliber sandpaper);
- sander;
- cycular machine for borders;
- polyethylene film;
- mineral alcohol;
- varnish or paint.
Preparatory work
Before proceeding with the cyclove, you need to perform certain preparatory work:
- Remove all the furniture from the room, remove from the walls of the picture and the elements of the decor, the chandelier is also better to take off, otherwise it will have to wash it from dust. The shelves from the walls are not necessary - it is possible to simply cover them with a film or a rag, fixing the edges of the scotch material.
- Remove the entrance door to the room, since the floor under it will also need to repair. Door opening glue by plastic film not to clog funny rooms or corridor. Open the windows to ensure proper ventilation.
- Inspect the surface of the floor for cracks, deep scratches or chips. They need to smear with putty. If some floor boards rotted or strongly twisted from moisture or old age, replace them with new ones. Scroll nails or screws as deep as possible so that they are not sticking under the surface. Otherwise, you can damage the cyclum machine. The gap between the floorboards can be smeared with a putty or shut up sawdust.
- Remove the old paint or varnish with a wire brush. Secure the effect of mineral alcohol or by a ridic machine. The riding machine effectively copes with the remains of the old paint.
- Thoroughly wash the floors with alcohol or conventional water to remove dust and garbage residues. Do not spare water and leave the floor to dry on the day or another.
It is very important to ensure good individual protection before starting work. The squabble machine produces an extremely loud sound, so buy high-quality building headphones. To protect the lungs from dust (and there will be a lot), buy or lease the respirator. Ordinary "petals" in this case will not save. You will also need safety glasses and gloves that can guess the effect of vibration machines. If there is no possibility to buy such gloves, you can use thick mittens.
How to cycle floor
The cycloying of the wooden floor with their own hands is a pretty simple task, if you comply with all the conditions. The most difficult thing in this work is to "curb" the cycular typewriter, because its power is so strong that the device will constantly try to break out of the hands.
Useful tips:
- the cost of the cyclove of the wooden floor is unreasonably high, and you should not be afraid to do it yourself. So you can save not only on the call of the wizard, but also on the finishing materials;
- you need to start a cycle with coarse ribbons, having reduced the graininess with each new layer. Large grains remove the residues of paint and smooth irregularities, small - surface surface to shine;
- when you start cyclish, put the wire from the machine to yourself on the shoulder and watch it always been there - so you can avoid entering the cord under the machine;
- when you take a cycular vehicle, read the features and nuances of the work specifically on this device. Find out the owner how to replace the abrasive material.
Progress:
- Insert the sandy paper with large grains with large grains in the drum and launch the machine. It is necessary to start a cycle from the angle, moving straight to the opposite wall.
- Having reached the wall, expand the machine and move in back the direction, shutting up a little to the side and capturing the raw floor section. In general, the movement will occur by the type of "snake".
- Pass every new track slightly on the previous one. If the floor area is quite large, then make sure how to quickly steal abrasive - it is possible to replace it several times.
- Also, sandpaper should be brushed from dust during operation. You can simply make it with a rag or broom. Do not forget about the cleaning of the dust collector.
Helpful advice:
Before run the typewriter, turn it slightly on the side, turn on and slowly put in a normal position. It is necessary that she immediately did not break out of the hands, and you are accustomed to its power gradually. In no case, do not let the machine from the hands!
Features of cycle
Swivel boards
Not all boards need to cycle the same. Wood varies according to the degree of softness, so it is necessary for certain rocks.
Thus, when cyclishing jerked boards, you need to move diagonally - from one corner to the opposite. On one purified track, you need to pass two or three times in one or another direction. It is necessary to achieve the maximum smooth surface.
When you committed with the initial handling of boards, replace the large abrasive on the middle and direct the typewriter parallel to the floorboards. If the floor is initially damaged not very much, you can skip the stage with a coarse sandpaper and start with a parallel cycle. Also this method is good for the renewal of parquet or mosaic coating.
Finally, process the surface of the floor with shallow emery paper to give semi glitter and smoothness.
Square in hard-to-reach places
The cyclove in the walls can deliver a lot of trouble, if you do not know some floor processing techniques. For the cyclove of hard-to-reach areas, it is necessary to use a special cutting machine for processing borders. Start work with medium-sized sandpaper, moving to a smaller abrasive. Perform each subsequent approach in the direction opposite to the previous one. Do not forget that for each stage, paper with a smaller grainy is used!
Final works
When the floor is otsikvan, wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Now you can proceed to apply the finishing coating. For this purpose, you can use the usual lacquer for wooden surfaces, lacquered with toning to give the wood of noble shades or paint. It is important to use high-quality moisture protection compositions so that the floor serves as long as possible.
Choose water-based varnishes made of acrylic or polyurethane resins. After frozen, they are forming a stronger film that can withstand strong long-term loads. In addition, such varnishes do not have an aggressive smell and quickly dry. It is desirable to cover the floor with several layers. The first will dry in approximately an hour, after which you can immediately apply the following layer. But do not cover the floor more than three layers, otherwise the durability of such a coating will be less long.
