Consider possible options for repairing old parquet.
If parquet dull
Since it is easy to damage the parquet floor, then you will once come across his recovery. A simple visible change - sweating of the coating, when the color becomes not bright, disappears the shine. The cause can be improper coating.
In order to avoid such changes, you must take the following:
- Walking on a parquet in a soft shoe that has no rigid sole.
- On the legs of the furniture, it is desirable to wear "socks" of soft tissue. Such special "pads" can be purchased in a construction store, but they are not at all difficult and independently.
- In those places that are subject to strong friction: zone near the sofa, chairs, tables, it is desirable to close with a fabric or rubberized rug.
- It is necessary to periodically process parquet mastic.
About repair:
- In order to return the initial brilliance of the parquet, it is necessary to carry out a surface grinding with the application of a new protective covering words.
- So that the lacquer lay down exactly, it is thoroughly stirred before applying and leave for ten minutes for "rest." At this time, excess air will be released from varnish. If necessary, the remedy is diluted with water, but not more than 5 percent, so as not to reduce the covering ability.
- Apply a coating with a wide tassel, but it is better to use a special roller from the foam rubber. During application it is impossible to work with a strong clamp and in the direction of the texture. Varnish must be applied in two or more layers, remembering that each new layer adds coating of resistance, and also refreshes its color.
- For 4-5 hours, the coating will dry, but it is possible to walk on the floor and place the furniture only after 4-5 days.
- Finally, the varnish dries after a half months.
- If the room is cool and wet, the coating will dry up a longer period.
Scratches and strips
A parquet flaw, which is considered common, has dark strips on the surface. They may appear as a result of walking on the floor in coarse shoes or in the shoes on a fine stud. Despite the fact that the parquet is made of solid wood species that are most resistant to mechanical exposure, sometimes it will not be able to withstand the load.
In order to prevent prevention, it is necessary to limit the access of people driving into such shoes to the room. In addition, it is necessary to know that rubber shoes will not harm the parquet, and the bands from it can be easily cleaned with a carpet cleaning agent.
Posy and various kinds of scratches are also found quite often - rearranged furniture, fell a heavy item. All these factors affect the appearance of scratches and dents. But it is not necessary to upset prematurely, because the floor is easy to return to the previous state. Scratch can be eliminated using a special pencil, which refreshes the surface. The main condition is to choose exactly the tone.
Cracks
Repair of a piece parquet, formed cracks and chips in it can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. Next, cracks must be placed with a special putty mixture. As a result of the work performed, the renovated place will have a light shade. After the putty gets up, the place must be pasted with sandpaper, then brush the dust and rub a damp cloth. Covered with mastic.
If a large gap was formed on your parquet, more than 5 millimeters, then the putty could not do.
To eliminate the gap, it is necessary to make a rejection with a screwdriver so that the slit takes the shape of the neat opening, and insert the wooden "Cup", lubricated with glue. After that, all irregularities can be taken and covered with varnish.
Partial repair of parquet allows to eliminate the resulting gaps near the plinths, as well as between the extreme bar and the board. For repair it is necessary to remove the plinth and see whether the wedge is weakened between the board and the wall. If the wedge is absent, the bar is pressed from the wall and in this space inserted any suitable in the size of the wedge.
Flawing boards
Repair of the old parquet suggests and the opportunity to eliminate the cause of tasting boards. Over time, during operation, parquet boards can dry out, loosen and slightly decreased in size. This is because there is high humidity in the room, or vice versa, the parquet was subjected to a thorough thermal drying.
When there are many such slanting slat, then it will be more expedient to replace the parquet completely to the new one. If damage is not so much, then you can replace old planks to new ones. For this you need:
- Pick up the suitable and color of the plank.
- Make sure that they were the same tree breed as your parquet.
- It is necessary to make a screwdriver split along the damaged plank and gently get it.
- Formed around dry glue and other trash should be removed by a vacuum cleaner.
- Wpadin needs to be cleaned, the basis to align.
- With a new plank, it is possible to choose the comb and gently stick.
- If you need to replace a few rolls at the same time, they need to be copped with a single riveting.
- Make sure that the new riveting "lay down" on the old board smoothly.
The base that was freed from the old parquet is poured with mastic, pre-warmed it to a certain temperature (no more than 170 degrees). In addition to mastic, special glue can be used. Toppers impose a riveting, removing the remnants of mastic or glue. After laying a new board, it is pressed by cargo and leave until complete drying.
After the floor is dry, the renovated area is cleaned and covered with varnish.
How to get rid of the screens
A characteristic unpleasant sound published when walking on parquet is a fairly common phenomenon. In some rooms, the owners simply get used to this sound and do not even notice him. But it is not always correct. Experts claim that when the symbol appears, this suggests that the board was laid with deviation from technology, or the base was detached from the coating, and also when the intermediate layer is poorly fixed on the basis. That is why rivets are drunk and as a result of friction we hear such a creak.
There are several options to get rid of this phenomenon:
- Without pace disassembly.
- Purchase under the coating of the adhesive composition.
- Installing a tree pin.
Each of the methods must be applied, after assessing the nature of the damage to the parquet board.
Repair and recovery of parquet are performed if the creak is barely heard. This means that a small plot is damaged. To eliminate it, you must perform the following:
- drill with a drill small hole in the board;
- take a medical syringe and gain glue into it;
- download glue into the hole;
- remove excess;
- to put the cargo.

If the parquet is watered with water
Repair of parquet after the bay is the worst thing that could be. Water, as well as other liquid (urine of animals, juice, sweet tea or coffee) are the main enemies for the parquet. If you poured the floor with water or other liquid, then it can swell and swell. Paul can be dried, but it will not solve the problem. If the planks separated, it is advisable to replace them with new ones.
If after a large amount of liquid fell on parquet, the surface was deformed, but did not move away from the base, this defect is subject to recovery. This applies to small areas.
In order to eliminate the defect, it is necessary to disassemble the spoiled coating and put new planks in its place. Try to pick up new planks of the same shade and one manufacturer as old boards.
If more than half of the coating is flooded, it makes no sense to repair the parquet, it is desirable to replace the floor completely to the new one.
If you decide to eliminate the cause, causing specialists, then you need to know that the repair of parquet has a relatively low cost. After experts disassemble the damaged area, the floor leaves for a couple of weeks. During this time, the screed will dry well, provided that the surface is covered with a construction film. If after some time condensate appeared on the film, this suggests that the draft floor is not yet a mischief. If the screed is dry - you can move on and lay parquet.
After completing the work, the place is grinning and covered with varnish.
How to eliminate unevenness
There are cases when, with long-term operation, parquet begins to sign or on the contrary, perform. This suggests that the parquet is worn or its base is uneven. Repair of parquet in this case will not have a high price, as specialists will work only on surface grinding.
If the details are damaged
Often the split coating, which arises due to improper operation. If rivets fall out - it means that the parquet laid with violations. Eliminate such a problem, in particular - repair of the shield parquet can also be removed the damaged riveting.
If it fell arbitrarily, then with a screwdriver and hammer it is necessary to extract a damaged area, cut off the riveting crest, remove the old mastic vacuum cleaner. Then you need to glue the new fragment on this place and leave the floor to dry. After complete drying, the surface must be covered with varnish or mastic.
Many are faced with the fact that in this repair of parquet it is very difficult to choose the desired shade, so when buying and laying a new parquet, it is desirable to take the material with a margin.
Wear
Over the years, even high-quality parquet is wear out. The prevention against such a phenomenon does not exist, but it is possible to return the shine to the dull coating, covering it to varnish. Also, the coating can be treated with a grinding machine, which first remove the old varnish and smoothes irregularities. This method of eliminating the wear of the parquet board is called a cycle. It is impossible to be done manually, so work trust professionals.
