Any work of repair or restoration of parquet does not begin to learn how to polish parquet, but it is precise to begin by a thorough cleaning of the same by means of brushes and special soaps for this aim. The objective is to eliminate the accumulated dirt, as well as possible old wax layers. Once well clean, we will be able to quickly detect the damaged zones. Next, in case of detecting a breakage, or it cracks, in some strip of parquet, we will have to come to change the affected part. Perhaps if parquet is the adapted one it is not necessary to replace all the licks, or group of you lick.

For example parquet nailed, when resting on wood ribbons, will allow us to bore the zone affected with a drill and to use a mountain range of narrow leaf to cut the fragment. If parquet is gluing to the ground it can turn out to us expensive to take it, and possibly we damage several you lick in the process. If enclipado is parquet floating, the repair is simpler then when not using tail can dismount with facility, licks to change it of parquet affected on the other new, and to become to mount all the set in relatively just a short time. How to polish parquet Once completed the previous phases, already it is possible to be learned how to polish parquet, task that without a doubt can help us to completely renew the aspect of parquet old and full of scratches but, since has indicated before, will solely be applicable in parquets of massive wood. The polished one of parquet requires of specialized material that usually is not within reach of all: polishing machines of parquet. In any case, if we wished therefore it, we will be able to rent this type of machinery. The polished process of is not due to do of a single time.

At least three passed with the polisher are necessary, using abrasive more and more fine grain bands. We must be careful during the polished one, mainly when using the heaviest abrasives, because to pause too much in a concrete place I could end up producing a hollow, channel, that we will not be able to fix later. The polished direction of is important: first happened it must become in diagonal with respect to the sense you lick of them, following the past one in the opposed diagonal, and last happened in the sense you lick of them. After the polished one a protective coating will be due to apply, either of waxes, or of a product to vitrify. The vitrificacin of parquet is a technique that allows to apply a protective coating of great resistance on parquet just polished that will simplify the maintenance remarkably. In order to vitrify parquet we will have to make sure that the wood has been dried most possible, and than we do not have the ignited heating. In fact the temperature in the room would not have very to be lifted. Next we will apply a minimum of two special varnish layers letting dry more by space of a day or between each applied layer. The definitive drying can take one week, something to have present before placing the furniture in the room. Original author and source of the article.
