Solvent-based parquet putty Lobadur Fugenkitt 1 l

Types of wood putty

There are several types of material available on the market, differing in the binder. Strength depends on it, as well as the maximum layer that can be applied to putty in one pass, moisture resistance, and drying time.

Acrylic

The light, almost white composition of the consistency of sour cream easily penetrates into the cracks, filling the unevenness. The hardened putty adheres perfectly to the wooden surface.

Pros:

• high adhesion;
• strength after hardening;
• forms a layer up to 3 mm.

Minuses

• not used in cold weather;
• only light colors: oak, pine; white.

Acrylic putty for wooden floors
Serves as an optimal base for water-dispersed paints and varnishes.

Polymer

Prepared on a water basis. Perfectly matches parquet or tongue and groove boards.

Pros:

• plasticity allows it to flow into the narrowest cracks;
• low shrinkage makes it possible to get by with a single layer.;
• quick drying.

Minuses:

Not suitable for hard wood, cork floors, causes stains.

Polymer compositions must be selected strictly to match the tone of the floor material.

Solvent based

The compositions tend to dry quickly. Essential resins diluted with organic solvents are used as a binder. The basis is wood dust generated during woodworking. It is recommended to use dust from the same wood from which the floor material is made. This will allow you to achieve maximum naturalness, especially when using colorless varnishes.

Pros:

• ease of application;
• quick drying;
• low shrinkage;
• natural look.

Minuses:

• sharp unpleasant odor at the time of application;
• the need for ventilation until completely dry.

Supplied as a colorless base, which is tinted with pigments. Ready-made compositions painted in one color or another are also available.

Oily

The composition of the putty includes water, oil, chalk. Suitable for treating all types of wood floors. High strength and a large number of available shades make oil compositions one of the most popular. They repel moisture, are resistant to low temperatures, strong, durable.

Pros:

• rich palette of shades;
• water-repellent properties;
• suitability for outdoor use.

Minuses:

• During the long drying period, you cannot walk on the floor;
• The strong smell requires frequent ventilation of the room.

Oil-based putties are supplied in a variety of packaging, from small tubes to 20-liter buckets. For any amount of work you can choose the right container.

How to prepare a solution with your own hands?

Preparing a solution for finishing parquet

To prepare your own putty, there are two methods.

Method No. 1

This is the simplest and most affordable technology for mixing your own solution for treating parquet. To prepare it you will need PVA glue and wood dust (it always remains after sanding the parquet).

According to many craftsmen, you can use other finely ground shavings, but only the one that you have left after processing your material will give the solution the maximum color similar to the installed parquet. Therefore, if you do not plan to putty the parquet today, save at least a small amount of wood dust, which will be very useful when eliminating defects on the floor in the future.

It is quite simple to prepare such a composition: constantly stirring the glue, pour wood dust into it until the solution becomes homogeneous and of the correct consistency.

The advantage of this putty is its low cost and quick mixing.

Unfortunately, there are also disadvantages - the solution is not sufficiently resistant to mechanical damage and subsidence during the drying process.

Parquet finishing

Method No. 2

Using this technology, mixing the solution is much more difficult, and you will also need more components. But, in its defense, we can say that such a mass will be more efficient, with increased stability and reliability.

To prepare this mixture for parquet putty you will need:

• 500 g drying oil;
• 125 g of turpentine (can be replaced with varnish kerosene);
• 100 g animal glue (10%);
• 25 g of liquid drier;
• soap (liquid);
• chalk (it must first be crushed into powder).

The cooking technology has the following sequence:

• animal glue is placed in a metal container and put on fire to heat up, without ceasing to stir;
• add all other components into the hot glue, constantly stirring the resulting mass;
• To make the mixture resemble sour cream in thickness, add the required amount of liquid soap and crushed chalk to it.

Putty composition and its varieties

Preparation of floor putty
Depending on the purpose, parquet putty can be:

• parquet starting or base, which is used for “rough” elimination of noticeable holes and irregularities;
• the finishing putty mixture is used at the final stage to final level the floor surface;
• A universal putty composition for all types of wood is used simultaneously at the initial and final stages of repair. In this case, they perform both “rough” work and final leveling of the floor.

Depending on the composition, putties are divided into types:

gypsum mixture has earned popularity due to its universal purpose. Plus, this composition provides reliable adhesion to the floor surface and has a low cost. They are used for both “rough” work and for final leveling of parquet.

Gypsum putty mixture for parquet

• Oil putty can be used for various types of wood. A significant disadvantage of this type of composition is the drying time due to the presence of oil.
• acrylic putty for parquet is used for work related to the removal of small defects in the floor covering. This mixture is environmentally friendly, elastic and resistant to mechanical stress. A significant disadvantage of putty is the low adhesion of the mixture to the edges of the parquet planks. During operation, the gaps increase, accompanied by the putty material falling out of the cracks.

Acrylic putty

• alkyd putty is made on the basis of flax oil, soybean and others. It is viscous, elastic and amenable to grinding. Used for finishing work.
• latex mixture for parquet is recommended for final decorating work. In this case, it can be used for unevenness of up to two millimeters. Otherwise, the surface layer of the parquet may crack. This mixture adheres perfectly to the surface, which is smooth and uniform. Plus, it’s worth noting the vapor-tight characteristics of latex floor putty. The cost of such products exceeds the price of standard gypsum building materials.
• the mixture or dispersion requires modification of the composition. In this case, there is no need to purchase a special dye. You can take the remaining dust from the top parquet layer and mix it with the mixture. As a result, you will have an excellent material for leveling parquet planks with recesses of up to 6 mm. This is one of the cheapest ways to restore the appearance of flooring.

Dispersion for parquet

Depending on the composition of the putty base, there are:

water-based putty is characterized by drying speed and environmental safety in terms of the complete absence of toxic fumes;

Why do you need parquet putty?

Regular puttying of the coating is a procedure that extends the life of the parquet. In addition, the composition eliminates damage to the integrity of the lamellas, which eliminates the risk of complete deformation of the coating. Putty is needed if:

1. cracks appeared due to improper installation or during use of the floor;
2. The dies have shifted, chips, cracks, and stains have been discovered.

In the first case, filling parquet with your own hands can be done during the sanding process, after the varnish coating has been applied, or without sanding the floor at all. And in the second, the defects should be cleaned, leveled and sealed with putty matched to the tone of the coating.

Choosing putty for parquet

Parquet is a fairly popular type of floor decoration.
It is made from natural materials and is environmentally friendly. When laying such a coating, a special putty for parquet is used, which provides a more even coating and hides minor defects. Putty can be produced in paste or powder form. The service life of the parquet largely depends on its choice. In this article we will take a closer look at the types of such solutions and the method of applying them.

When is it used?

Restoration of parquet flooring consists of repairs to restore the old wooden flooring. The main task in repairing parquet is to eliminate defects and improve the appearance of the floor. You can repair and renew the surface yourself.

Let's look at the most common defects that require floor sanding.

Crevices. The main factor in the formation of cracks is the loosening of parquet boards. Removing cracks is a difficult task because they appear throughout the entire coverage area. Small cracks can be sealed with putty. When visible cracks form in the middle of the planks and the surface is scratched, cosmetic repairs are not enough. If the parquet is not detached from the base, then it is necessary to restore the floor covering.

Otherwise, later the parquet will have to be removed and laid again. The restoration takes place in the following stages: sanding, sanding, filling and filling of uneven areas, sanding the putty floor, final finishing.

To care for parquet floors, you can purchase special oil. First, dust is removed from the parquet, wet cleaning is carried out, and then oil is applied. Do not apply a thick layer of oil to prevent the floor from sticking. Initially, such a coating will get dirty faster, but after a while it will become easier to care for the floor.

When can you do without this procedure?

If there is not parquet on the floor, but a parquet board, then it is usually not rigidly fixed, but simply laid, which ensures free movement in certain amplitudes. Therefore, even high-quality putty, after drying, will quickly fall out of the cracks due to the fact that the boards are constantly moving when people walk on them.

In the case of laying solid boards with a chamfer on the floor, you can also do without puttying. The reason is that such boards dry out over time, which makes the putty between them extremely unstable and constantly falls out.

How to putty parquet - buy the necessary ingredients

Parquet putties can be water-based, oil-based, or acrylic. According to experts, small cracks do not need to be sealed when applying putty, as they will be filled with varnish during subsequent varnishing. But in large cracks, a special solution is applied to the maximum.

Putties are divided into several types: leveling or starting putties, finishing putties; in addition to them, universal putties, decorative putties and wood putties are also in demand. According to their classification, they are alkaid, acrylic, latex and oil. You should buy a powder or paste substance (putty) in a store. There they will tell you which one is best for you to level your floors. The appearance of the parquet, as well as its wear resistance, will largely depend on the putty purchased. Putty in the color of oak, birch, beech or pine is often in demand. There is no less demand for a universal putty mass (we can add parquet dust to it ourselves).

There are joint fillers that come with the primer that have fast drying properties and are suitable for both wood floors and ceramic tiles. Varnishes combine well with oil and acrylic putty. The best putty is the one that creates a perfectly smooth floor, smooths out cracks and eliminates defects, masking the gaps at the joints of the planks. The elasticity of the putty is also of great importance. For small seams, skilled craftsmen use wax along with a special pencil (retouching) and varnish. And your parquet will be like new! By the way, if you fail, blame yourself - sealed seams “by eye” can lead to poor quality of parquet installation.

Types of putty for wooden floors

Today, the construction market offers a large number of different putties for wooden floors, which, based on their composition, can be divided into several main types:

• solvent-based putty mixtures;
• acrylic mixtures;
• oil putties;
• polymer mixtures;
• DIY mixtures.

1. Solvent-based mixtures contain fine wood chips as the main component, which are considered a reliable coating for floor coverings made of any type of wood. The main positive characteristics of this composition are ease of use and quick drying of the mixture, which significantly speeds up the process of laying or repairing the floor.

1. Acrylic parquet putty also has several positive qualities and is indispensable in work on eliminating minor wood defects. It is often used for grouting joints between wooden tiles, as it is environmentally friendly and does not release toxins when exposed to high temperatures. The main quality is elasticity and resistance to various mechanical loads. Acrylic also significantly increases the water-repellent qualities of wood and significantly increases its service life.

1. Oil compositions contain components such as oil, water and regular chalk, which makes it possible to use it on any type of wood. The putty has a very long service life, however, due to the presence of oil in the composition, it takes a very long time to dry, which significantly reduces the speed of work. Putting parquet with your own hands using oil mixtures requires strict adherence to the instructions for use, which are indicated on the packaging from the manufacturer.

1. Polymer solutions are environmentally friendly and are usually used in rooms with increased sanitary requirements. Can be used on any type of wood except cork. The main advantages of polymer putty mixtures are the following features:
   filling small voids and cracks;
2. smoothing out unevenness and other natural defects;
3. protection of the end edges of the tree;
4. does not settle after drying;
5. does not create static electricity, which prevents dust from sticking.

1. It is very often practiced to putty parquet from personally prepared solutions, which allows you to significantly save money and make exactly the composition that is necessary for a particular case.

Homemade putty mixture

First option

In order to prepare this mixture at home, you need the following ingredients:

• 500 grams of drying oil;
• 100 grams of animal glue with 10% concentration;
• 125 grams of varnish kerosene or turpentine;
• liquid drier 25 grams;
• liquid soap;
• regular chalk in powder consistency.

Heated animal glue.

Animal glue is heated in a metal container over a fire, stirring constantly. While heated, the remaining ingredients are added to the glue and stirred until a mixture is formed, which in consistency will resemble thick sour cream. This solution is mainly used as a putty for parquet: oak, aspen or pine.

It is important to remember that the mixture must be used only in a warm state, maintaining its constant temperature during operation

Option two

The second option is a simpler, but no less effective method of preparation.

To do this, you need to take regular PVA glue and add wood dust that remains after processing your parquet. The dust is mixed with glue to form a thick mass (photo) and applied to the surface using a spatula. This type of putty will provide a natural color when sealing joints, but it has its drawbacks. When the glue dries, it settles and hardens.

Putty process

Before puttingtying the parquet, it must be thoroughly vacuumed and, if possible, wiped with a damp cloth. Puttying is used in all types of work, both when installing new parquet and when repairing or maintaining old ones.

The putty is applied to the parquet using a regular metal spatula in a circular or semicircular motion in order to fill all the seams and small cracks as much as possible. After the mixture has hardened, the floor is ready for polishing.

Correct application of putty mass

Before starting to putty the parquet, it is recommended to thoroughly clean the floor surface from dust and dirt using wet cleaning. In this case, parquet puttying is carried out during any work, both during the initial installation process and during the repair of individual planks.

The mixture is applied using a standard metal spatula using small circular or semicircular movements. This is the only way to ensure that the seams and gaps are filled with putty material. After the surface has completely dried, it can be polished.

Doing parquet putty with your own hands is a simple task. The main thing here is to choose the right color of the mass or create it yourself.

Types, advantages and disadvantages of putty

Today, parquet putty is classified into several types.

Depending on its purpose, the putty received the following names:

• starting (basic) – used for “rough” filling of large defects;
• finishing – designed for final leveling of the surface where there are minor defects. The essence of its use is that it should be applied to facing material or a clean base;
• universal (for use on wood) – has a number of characteristics, combining the properties of starting and finishing mixtures.

Depending on the substances included in the putty, there are several varieties of this product.

Gypsum - popular due to its versatility, reliable adhesion to the base and low cost. This mixture can be used for both rough and finishing application.

Oil is a parquet putty that goes well with any type of wood. The disadvantage of this mixture is that it takes a long time to dry due to the oil base.

Acrylic - used as a means to eliminate minor surface defects and rub joints. This mixture is created on a water basis, is environmentally friendly, has high elasticity and resistance to physical stress. There is a problem with the operation of such a mixture, which consists in poor interaction with the edges of the cavity being filled when applied to the coating. After some time, the seams of the floor covering may expand slightly, which leads to the loss of a layer of putty.

Alkyd - made from resins from soybean, flax, etc. oils. This mixture has many advantages: high viscosity, elasticity and ease of grinding.

Latex - the mixture is similar to alkyd and is also used as parquet putty with improved characteristics. Apply a layer of no more than 2 millimeters, since with increasing thickness the risk of cracking increases. Advantages of use: good interaction with smooth surfaces, high vapor permeability. However, the cost of such a mixture is much higher than gypsum.

A dispersion is a set of materials for making your own putty. The purchased base can be supplemented with dust remaining after sanding the floors. In this case, the putty you create for parquet yourself will have a color similar to the flooring. The applied layer can be up to 6 millimeters thick. The cost of such a mixture is low and any owner can use it.

Also, putties are divided into types depending on the active substance on the basis of which production is carried out:

• If parquet grouting is done with water-based putty, the applied layer dries quickly and is also environmentally friendly and safe for owners. The mixture does not interact well with hardwood parquets: chestnut, oak, cedar, etc.;
• If the parquet is puttied using a solvent, then it is permissible to use a mixture with any wood materials. The mixture has higher strength than water. The varnished coating interacts with such putty no worse than pure wood. The disadvantage is that there is a high risk of fire and the mixture has an unpleasant odor due to the solvent it contains.

Applying homemade putty

Apply homemade putty in the following order:

1. Surface preparation. They level the coating, remove old decorative elements, all kinds of roughness, bulges, rotten material, protruding fasteners, etc.
2. The putty composition must be prepared in advance. If one of its components is sawdust, you need to wait a few hours until it swells. The putty is used immediately after production. The entire composition must be worked out in 1-2 hours, otherwise it will dry out and become unusable.
3. The solution is applied using a spatula, brush or roller. Next, wait for the surface to dry completely. Depending on the components of the putty, this will take 3-12 hours.

1. The surface is sanded (polished) using an abrasive material.
2. If necessary, apply protective compounds to the material (anti-rust, fungus, moisture, fire protection, etc.).
3. Paint, decorative plaster, varnish, etc. are applied to the surface.
4. The remainder of the mixture is disposed of.

In most cases, it is easier to purchase ready-made putty in a store. However, sometimes, as in the case of wood putties, the quality of the compositions leaves much to be desired. In this case, the solution will be material of your own production.

Which putty for parquet is better?

It's hard to say which floor grout is better. Here you need to take into account the operating characteristics of the floor covering, as well as the microclimate in a particular room. To understand this issue, let’s get acquainted with the popular types of putty, their technical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

According to their intended purpose, building mixtures are divided into the following types:

• Starting solutions with a maximum fraction of fine aggregate are used to fill large uneven areas on the surface of the floor covering. These could be seams between individual dies or chips.
• Finishing types of mixtures are used for final leveling before laying the protective layer.
• Universal putty can be used for the two previously listed types of work.

In addition, there is a division of grouts according to the composition of raw materials. Based on this criterion, the material can be divided into the following types:

1. On a gypsum basis. Such materials are distinguished by their universal use, low cost, and good adhesion to any type of base surface. Such solutions are used for initial or finishing surface treatment of floor coverings.
2. Oil putty is made from natural raw materials, which is considered its main advantage. This solution can be used for any type of wood and fills the gaps between planks well. The only drawback of this composition is the long drying period.
3. Acrylic grout is great for filling small cracks, crevices and other voids in the flooring surface. This composition is made from environmentally friendly raw materials, it is quite elastic, and is resistant to various mechanical influences. The main disadvantage of the solution is considered to be insufficient adhesive properties. The substance may peel off from the edges of the gap between the parquet after drying. After some time, the acrylic solution will fall out of the gap, which will help widen the gap.
4. Alkyd grouts have a sharp, specific odor, which is considered their main disadvantage. This composition is made from linseed, soybean and other types of oils. The material has good elasticity, perfectly fills voids on the surface, and is excellent for sanding.
5. Polymer or latex solutions are used as the finishing layer. It is recommended to lay such compositions up to 3 millimeters thick, which will prevent cracking of the top protective layer of varnish. This grout has excellent adhesion and adheres well even to a smooth floor surface. The material is expensive, but its price is justified, because such putty is not afraid of exposure to high humidity and water vapor.
6. The dispersed composition is used to make putty at home; to do this, just add the dust that remains after sanding the floor covering to the store-bought solution. This grout is elastic and perfectly fills all the cracks and unevenness. In addition, the putty matches the tone of the coating, it is almost invisible.

There is also a division of grout according to the type of base. Materials on water take a long time to dry, but do not emit harmful substances during hardening. Such solutions are ideal for restoration work on parquet made from soft wood. The grout is not suitable for products made of oak, chestnut or cedar.

Solvent-based putties are suitable for any type of floor covering. Such solutions have improved adhesion to the base surface, harden faster, but they emit an unpleasant odor and are considered flammable substances.

Important! When choosing putty, you need to pay attention to the type of floor covering. For parquet that will subsequently be covered with a protective layer of varnish, it is recommended to select solvent-based grouts. For flooring treated with wax or oil, environmentally friendly, natural, water-based compounds are better suited.

For flooring treated with wax or oil, environmentally friendly, natural, water-based compounds are better suited.

Auxiliary materials for parquet restoration

While it is possible in some cases to repair parquet without sanding, it will not be possible to carry out restoration work without the use of special compounds. Therefore, as an example, the table shows the materials necessary to put the parquet in order. Moreover, they are used not only for repairs, but also when laying a new coating.

Usage

Scheme of cork floors on a concrete base.

The main purpose is to level the surface before applying coating materials. It is better to putty any type of surface before painting or wallpapering.

Putty for concrete floors is used as a universal material for leveling it.

The domestic market of construction and finishing materials mainly offers putty in the form of a dry mixture. In this regard, first of all you need to mix the putty, then prepare the surface. Before filling, the coating is cleaned of grease and dirt and, if necessary, treated with a primer. The instructions on the package will help you properly dilute the putty from the dry mixture. One point should be noted here: putty for a concrete floor is carried out due to gravity, so it should be slightly thinner than a regular solution for ceilings or walls (diluted with water in a ratio of 1:5).

For waterproof surfaces, the putty is diluted a little thicker (1:3). Next, you should lay the putty in a thin, even layer on the surface. The use of a thick layer is unacceptable, as this will promote the formation of cracks. After the putty has hardened, you need to remove the excess with a spatula and level it with sandpaper. For more information on how to use a particular type of putty, it is best to read the instructions on the package. For example, putty for polystyrene foam requires preliminary degreasing of the surface and is laid in 2 layers.

Scheme of a standard floor screed.

The dry mixture must be diluted in the amount required, because after the stated time has elapsed (usually 4 hours), it will become unsuitable for use.

It is important to choose a putty according to the requirements for room humidity and drying time. There are types that can only be used indoors with low humidity levels and at a certain temperature

Before further work, you must wait until the putty on the surface is completely dry. On average, complete drying time is 24 hours.

Putting the floor requires some preparation and takes a lot of time, so it is often easier to turn to specialists.

How to apply material to parquet

To ensure that the result of using putty is a smooth and even floor without gaps between the planks, it is important to apply it correctly to the mounted surface. To do this, the base is prepared in three stages:

• cycle;
• cleaned dryly from dust;
• wipe with a damp cloth.

The finished solution is applied evenly in a circle using a spatula. After drying, the material is sanded. Using putty for the initial treatment of the floor means treating the entire surface. Repair and restoration work involves partial filling of the areas requiring correction.

We carry out parquet repairs ourselves. self-repair.

Before you begin repairing your parquet, you must inspect it thoroughly. If loose parquet flooring is found, nails are driven into them, and the heads of the nails must be recessed into pre-drilled holes. To get rid of creaking floorboards, small holes (5-8 mm) are drilled between them at an angle of 45 degrees, into which wooden pins are driven. Before this, the pins must be lubricated with wood glue or PVA glue. If the pin does not go in completely, then its edge is cut off with a chisel.

Next, it will be necessary to putty the places where nails and pins were driven in, cracks, and various potholes. When repairing parquet flooring yourself, you can use homemade putty. It can be made from varnish, which will be used later to cover parquet and sawdust. To facilitate the puttying process, you can use a stencil by cutting it out of cardboard. Then the putty will be applied only in the right places, and the remaining places will remain clean. To restore the wood pattern in putty areas, you can use an awl to draw lines that repeat the pattern of the pattern.

The next step in the repair work will be scraping and sanding the parquet. If you decide to repair the parquet yourself, then you will need a hand scraper, which can be purchased at hardware stores. To facilitate the sanding process, you can iron the parquet with a hot iron through a damp cloth. To scrape parquet manually you need to spend a lot of time and effort. An alternative is machine scraping. Since a sanding machine is a professional tool, it is not profitable to purchase it in order to repair parquet with your own hands once, it would be better to contact a company that provides similar services or rents similar parquet sanding machines.

After sanding, you need to sand the parquet. At this stage of repairing parquet with your own hands, you will need a tool such as an electric polisher. Using a clamp, you need to attach sandpaper with a fabric backing to the floor polisher brush. If you do not have such a device, then you will have to connect your legs to the work. Why legs? Because pressing with your feet will turn out to be stronger than with your hands, which means the grinding process will go faster.

The next step is to apply a special primer to the floor surface that has been sanded and free of dirt. A nitrocellulose-based primer is best, but regular nitro varnish will also work. The primer is poured onto the parquet and quickly leveled over the entire surface using a wide steel spatula. The main element here is speed, since the varnish dries quickly. When the first coat of primer has dried, the floor should be sanded with fine sandpaper. After this, another layer or two is applied at intervals of 20-40 minutes. After the last layer of primer has dried, you can begin varnishing.

Before using the varnish, it must be mixed thoroughly. This is especially true for varnishes that contain matting additives. After this, the varnish should stand for 10 minutes, this is necessary so that the air bubbles come out. Apply the varnish using a wide brush or a foam paint roller (microfiber roller). This is done along the grain of the wood, without pressing too hard on the tool. To increase the durability of the coating, the varnish is applied in several layers. Intermediate layers must be sanded with emery cloth. In this case, sanding is performed to ensure better adhesion between the layers and to avoid raising the pile, which causes roughness. After sanding, you need to remove any remaining dust.

Although the varnish coating dries in about 2 hours, it is recommended to use the floor surface after 3-5 days. The varnished surface dries completely after one or two weeks. High humidity and low temperature can significantly slow drying.

Tips and recommendations for use

It is better to entrust high-quality repairs to an experienced craftsman who understands all the nuances of working with putty. When doing the work yourself, you should first familiarize yourself with the stages of the process and study the recommendations of specialists. Online resources have detailed information on how to apply putty and carry out preliminary preparation. Therefore, you can follow these tips.

1. Before puttying, apply an adhesive composition between the fixed beacon slats. Before mixing the glue with sawdust, the components must be moistened. Then they must be thoroughly squeezed out. Manipulation will prevent rapid absorption of the adhesive base.
2. The mixture is distributed evenly in a thick layer of at least 2 cm. It is applied several times.
3. The putty must harden well before covering the floor with leveling material.
4. Leveling the floors is carried out using a special grinding machine; for this, the floors are prepared. If it is not available, a manual device can be used. The device is also used for working in hard-to-reach places. Remove old metal elements and hammer in nails.
5. The scraping process is carried out starting from the corner part of the room. Then they move along the entire surface, following a serpentine trajectory.
6. Before finishing the floor, the top layer of parquet must be removed to remove the worn part of the surface.
7. The putty should be selected in a color scheme that is as close as possible to the original coating. Only in this case can you achieve an ideal result.
8. Cycling continues after the putty has dried.
9. If there is slight damage to the wooden board, it is removed and turned over to the other side. The color and structure will be similar to other decorative elements.
10. After finishing sanding, dust and debris must be removed.
11. Before varnishing, the floor is rubbed with a rag treated with a solvent to degrease the surface.
