How to update your parquet yourself
Oak parquet is renowned for its reliability and durability. However, if used improperly, in just a few years, unpleasant cracks may appear on this floor covering, and its elements will begin to fall out. There is no need to completely replace it, since it is quite possible to update the parquet on your own. So, if rivets began to fall out of the parquet, or they simply loosened during operation, then to replace them, it is first of all recommended to carefully remove them from the cells, removing particles of the old glue. This will prepare the site for replacement with new material. Quite often, it is also necessary to fill up the gaps between the boards. When their size is small enough, you can use a putty. Having previously removed the accumulated debris from the cracks, it remains only to carefully cover them up. It should be noted that the level of the new joint must not exceed the level of the floor. But large cracks should be sealed with special patches. They are made of wood, usually in the shape of a rectangle. In the process, they are varnished and glued in like ordinary new rivets..
Very important work is also taking place on the scraping of the parquet. Previously, it was possible to circle parquet with the help of special manual equipment, but at the moment, special grinding machines are still more widespread. They are especially handy for doing work in corners. Meanwhile, the manual method is still better suited for scraping hard-to-reach places..
