Parquet's cycle do it yourself

One of the most common ways to repair or update the flooring without its removal is the cyclove. In fact, this operation is nothing more than the removal of the surface layer of the coating, followed by the application of the protective substance, as a rule, varnish. Parquet's cycle do it yourself - the operation is quite time-consuming and without a special tool it is very difficult to do. It is also worth noting that without special training there is a big risk to spoil both the coating and the tools. Therefore, before you decide to carry out these works, it is necessary to weigh everything "for" and "against".

Basic moments

In which cases it is impractical to spend the seating parquet of floors? It is worth saying that this operation can not be carried out. In some situations, it will not give anything, that is, it is absolutely useless, since the sexual coating is better to completely replace.

Consider the condition of the parquet at which the cycle will not help return the original appearance. So, it does not make sense if:

• Sexual coating has pyles and irregularities that are determined visually.
• Parquet coating fumbled, the locks were separated or, on the contrary, fed.
• Parquet extermines. It is possible to personally observe in places of large pavement, especially in doorways. If less than 5 mm remains from the surface of the parquet board, its cyclove will not fix the position.
• The room has a mocity or wet evaporation from the basis of the floor. This problem can be immediately seen on the wallpaper that begin to be peeling. The presence of evaporation from the main floor is checked as follows. Take a piece of polyethylene size of 1 m x 1 m, spread to parquet and press the corners by any cargo. At normal temperature in the room (+18 ⁰c ... + 27 ⁰c) there should be no condensation on the inner surface of the film. If he is, there is no point in cyclish. It must be disruptable, view the condition of the main coating, make (replace) waterproofing, room drying, and only then lay the parquet board.
• In the genital boards, the bugs were bored. This problem is determined visually. On the affected coating, when inspection, you can find small holes, next to which, as a rule, there are piles of fine chips.
• Parquet board is amazed by rot. Check the availability of rot in the parquet board, with the help of simple ships. In each of the corners of the room check 2-3 boards. Silo put at an angle of 45⁰ in the corner of the boards and click with a little effort. In the "healthy" board it will enter a depth of 5-7 mm depending on the tree of the tree. If the depth is greater - the board is amazed by rot from the bottom. In this case, it will be necessary to replace it.

Equipment and consumables for work

This type of work will require the following tools:

• Drum grinder (carpet cycle machine). This tool is necessary for the rough (coarse) removal of the varnish and the top layer of the parquet coating.

• Plane grinding machine. It is designed for finishing floor stripping before the lacquer coating.

• Angle grinder. Its presence is necessary when working in the corners, near the walls, in niches. Some "specialists" are recommended for maintaining the budget instead of a corner machine to use a grinder. Do not take seriously these tips. When processing the floor should be emphasis, otherwise a rather heavy tool can break out of the hands and inflict injury. Also, with such experiments, a cup of conical nozzle is often crashed into the floor surface, leaving deeply potholes on it, to close that will be problematic subsequently.

• Industrial vacuum cleaner. When conducting these works, this thing is simply necessary. During the cyclumin and finishing floor processing, a large number of fine dust is distinguished, which is necessary to completely remove before varnishing. A broom and cloth will do it problematic, so it is better to use a vacuum cleaner. Try to clean the chips right after work so that the places are clearly visible, where the surface layer is not completely removed.

Please note that the rental of such equipment can do with you at 4-5 thousand rubles per day, so if you are going to carry out these work yourself, plan all operations in advance in order not to overpay for the time limit. Also be prepared that the owner will ask you to leave a deposit of approximately 40-60 thousand rubles.

In addition to the equipment, we need consumables, namely:

• Three types of emery skins: P36-P40 for rough ridges, P60-P80 for pure grinding and P100-P120 for fine floor stripping after primary varnishing. With a standard width of the material, its consumption will be approximately 1 m per 10 m ² Floor.
• Disks for a plane oarsal machine - 3 pcs. for 20 meters ² Floor.
• Package for parquet and parquet varnish, approximately 5 kg. for 20 meters ² Floor.

All material will cost about 3 thousand rubles. Given these factors, consider what it will be profitable: to do it yourself or hire professionals.

Safety in the squirrel of old parquet

When working on a cyclical, the safety regulations should be followed. Work must be performed in glasses and the respirator, as it is associated with a large emission of dust. Despite the fact that in many cases, during cycle, industrial vacuum cleaners are used, a large amount of dust still remains that it can be harmful to respiratory and eyes. There are also cases of departure of small pieces of wood, and so that they do not get into the eyes, it is better to use glasses.

Before starting work, make sure that your electrical wiring is managed. An optional load on the power grid can reach 3 kW or 15 A. with a weak wiring, closures and even ignition are possible. Do not use the tool with visible fault signs and lack of protective housings. Work only in overalls and special shoes.

Be sure to remove all the upholstered furniture and carpets from the room where you are going to work. If the furniture cannot be removed for any reason, shook it tightly with polyethylene and secure scotch. The windows must be open to open, because the parquet of the parquet without dust is almost impossible.

What you need to know before working

Before starting work, it is important to know the basic principles of their holding, otherwise you risk or breaking the car, or spoil the parquet. The main rule of work with the squaling machine is smoothness and uniformity. It is not allowed to stop the tool in one place, otherwise it will leave potholes on the floor. Before starting the cyclovka, it is necessary to lift the car, turn on and wait until the drum is gaining working turnover. Only then lay it on the floor and start moving. Stop work in the reverse order.

Remember, only a special skirt must be used for the squabble machine. It necessarily indicates the direction of rotation of the drum. Filling the skin is necessary only by arrow. Often during the operation of such a car wearing the eccentrics that are attached to the tape, which is why the drive drum simply slipches. In this case, it is necessary to use special substrates.

Each type of parquet has its own cyclovka technology and grinding:

• Parquet, laid with a Christmas tree, circuits along the lines at an angle of 45⁰ to the boards, and finishing laying - in the direction of laying parquetin. Since the latter are laid in different directions, each of the operations will have to make a minimum of two navigation.
• If the floor is decorated with curly straight floor parquet, it is necessary to cycle in two perpendicular directions, and be sure to two right.
• Patterned parquet coatings Cincan only masters of this case, since one careless movement can spoil the entire pattern. Typically, such coatings are littered from the boards of the valuable rocks of the tree of a small thickness, so the negligent cycle is guaranteed to spoil the pattern. Works are carried out in small areas, moving along the helix outside inside. After processing one section, it is necessary to smoothly go to the next one.

Grinding and Cyclical Parquet

Procedure for conducting work:

1. To start from the room we endure all the furniture, remove all the plinth. Then you need to clean the floor by a broom and "walk" along it by a household vacuum cleaner to completely remove dust.
2. Next, we install a roughening eyeline of P36-P40 and begin work. First we pass from the far wall to the most passable place. As the dust collector filling, its contents are pouring into a plastic bag.
3. If small spots of varnish remained (they can be visually determined by dark color), we smash them with the help of a corner car from the edges of the spot to the center. It is removing the lacquer from the surface in the corners and niches.
4. We produce fine grinding with a plane oarsal machine, and the corners and niches are again passing the corner car. After processing a certain area, we carry out dust cleaning.
5. We make a spacure mixture. Based on putty, we knead some of the dust, which was formed from surface grinding, and put the entire floor. If you do it only in areas where there are potholes and cracks, after varnishing, they will stand out with dark spots.
6. After the putty dry, the coating must be glued again. To do this, use the Cycular Machine with the side of the P60-P80 and the cornerless machine for grinding of hard-to-reach places.
7. Further we appline a layer of varnish, and after drying it, we produce grinding the skin of P100-P120. The remains of the pile are removed by the plane grinding machine.
8. After grinding several times we pass the floor and the walls with a vacuum cleaner to remove fine dust.
9. We apply several layers of varnish. Each subsequent layer is applied only after complete drying of the previous one. As a rule, the floor is covered with two layers of varnish, however, if the parquet is valuable or the room has high permeability, it is better to make two or three layers more.

Features of performance

Cycle of the militant floor. These works are slightly different from the cyclove of the parquet. Since such gender is ideally, it will not any equally, the use of a plane oarsal machine is inappropriate. At the same time, it is necessary to remember the one rule, the movement of the machine across the fibers of the tree is unacceptable.

Manual squabble parquet. Such an operation is carried out quite rarely and is appropriate only for small areas. It uses a homemade or factory tool (SKRA) for its production.
