Proper sanding requires the use of these special sanding techniques . To smooth most floors, three sandpaper "cuts" are adequate rough sandpaper first, medium sandpaper second, and fine sandpaper last. Each cut should be done moving with the grain (parallel with flooring boards) making several passes. If you are not getting anywhere moving with the grain, move diagonally across the grain (at a 45ordm angle) with the rough cut. Do the rough and medium cut working diagonally and then another medium cut and the final fine cut, working with the grain. Easy Steps to Refinish Your Wood Floor - Following are the basic steps to refinishing a wood floor . Clear the room of all furnishings, and pry off baseboards. Either remove any protruding nails, or set them into the wall board with a nail punch, so that they are out of the way of the sanding equipment.

If we go for a fitting without a specific design, choosing herringbone for the pattern, we may not strictly go for bordering the floors.

Apply it with a brush or a rag and let it dry before applying a second coat if necessary. Never shake it or you will get bubbles in it that will transfer to the floor ruining all your work. Apply it in even strokes with a brush or roller always going with the grain to avoid streaks. Make sure you allow it to dry for a few hours before applying the second coat and let it cure for several days before placing your furniture and any rugs you may have back in the room. The wood floor is beautiful, warm, durable but also fragile material it always adds value to the home, so it has to be maintaining in the proper way. Dirt, grit, water and other spills, hard cleaners, dents, sun, furniture all these external factors leave an impact on the floor.

An orbital sander allows you to have more control so that you do not create deep gouges in your floor. In order to refinish any floor, but especially parquet floors, you need to exercise patience. Sometimes you might need to use sandpaper, which will take a little longer, but this type of flooring needs extra care. Once the sanding job is completed, decide whether you want to stain your floor or not. Once you have stained, or, even if you haven't, it is a good idea to apply polyurethane to the parquet floor. However, make sure that you use at least three coats of polyurethane in order to get the best results. This type of home-improvement job can be difficult and time-consuming but the end result, a beautiful parquet floor, makes it definitely worth it. The undeniable beauty of parquet flooring is financially out of reach for many people.

On the other hand, if the water soaks into the wood floor, you do not have any surface protection left and you will need to have them refinished soon. Leaving your floor exposed to the elements like this will only wear them down even more and may cause long term damage. Of course you don't have to wait until there are areas of finish completely gone before you decide to have them restored. Maybe the finish is still there but you can't stand the unsightly scratches and marks that are in you floors. Many times there is damage to floors from pet stains or overwatered potted plants that has penetrated the wood and therefore those areas need to be removed and replaced. On the other hand, you might just be tired of the color and want to stain your floors darker to have a more modern look. Or maybe your floors are very dark right now and you want to lighten them up. All of these things can be taken care of when you decide to sand and refinish your wood floors.

Finally scrim the floor in a fine grit sand paper or screen, clean properly and tack again, then apply the final coat of laquer. You can apply more coats the more coats you apply the longer the finish should last and the more depth and the finer the finish up to 7 coats. They look great and give you a feeling of warmth that cannot be reached by stone tiles. If you live in a cold area that's even better as parquets are much nicer to walk on in cold weather. There are a few issues you need to look into before you jump into flooring your house with parquets. Issue number one - wood on laminate parquet The wooden parquet is more "authentic", but in reality most people today will go for laminate parquet. I would suggest that you go for the laminate product, unless you are a wood "fanatic" and need your floor to be %100 wood. If you do, take into account the maintenance cost of a wooden parquet floor.

This is because flooring manufacturers are now trying to make these parquet wood floors into something that could be cared for quite easily and as resistant to scratches as could be. Nowadays, consumers normally opt for the parquet wood flooring that comes in light colors. Right now, manufacturers recommend that parquet be installed through strip flooring. The Parquet Wood Floor of the Past - In the past, parquet wood flooring was fashioned out of wood strips that were attached into blocks that were square in form. This type of wooden flooring was still very moisture-sensitive and normally bulged or collapsed after being exposed to extreme humidity. Nowadays, parquet wood floors are already made out of plywood or hardwood and is usually applied with a finish that is acquired through lamination.

When thinking about remodeling, today's families are looking for smarter, less expensive ways to beautify their living spaces. When it comes to flooring, the options are endless and can be one of the most costly and daunting decisions of the remodel. While there are many options to choose from such as carpet, tile, even concrete, parquet flooring is another option sometimes overlooked. It is a durable product that is not difficult to install and can last for decades, making it a reasonable and beautiful upgrade for any room in the house, from the kitchen to the basement. Parquet flooring can be installed over concrete as well as existing hardwood, laminate, or ceramic tile, making it an easy DIY project. Parquet flooring hails all the way back to 1684, when it replaced marble in Versailles, France. The marble flooring used prior to this had to be cleaned constantly, and the water would run down to the under- lying floor supports, causing them to rot. Parquet, noted for its beauty and strength was also easier to clean, thus its use spread quickly.
