The durability of any product depends on its correct, accurate operation and timeliness of maintenance in the scope provided. As for the parquet board with lacquer coating, it requires special care, since its structure has a number of features that must be taken into account. And first of all, multilayered.
Quite often the notion of "piece parquet" and "parquet board" in the household replace each other, hence there is some confusion. It should be noted that this is not the same thing. Classic parquet is a piece of solid wood, with a strict geometry and processed in a special way. The board is a composite product, as a rule, made of 3 layers, fastened with an adhesive compound according to a special scheme. And the breed of wood in each is different. In detail, all the nuances of choosing a parquet board are described in this article.
To ensure that the floors retain their original appearance and have withstood the guaranteed operating life, a number of rules must be observed, which should be considered in more detail. As a rule, this means a banal timely cleaning, although the concept of "leaving", if you think about it, is somewhat wider.
Maintenance before installation
Maintenance of the parquet board begins not after installation in place, but immediately after its purchase. Unfortunately, many do not think about this. It often happens that the owner starts repair( finishing) works after a while. It should not be forgotten that any wood does not like sudden changes in temperature and humidity. That is why it is necessary to provide the most favorable conditions for temporary storage of products.
- Boards are stored only in the package. If the factory "container" is damaged, the defect must be eliminated.
- The room should be well ventilated, it is necessary to maintain the temperature within 22 ºС.Maximum deviations from the set value( including daily) are not more than ± 4 ºС.As for humidity, its optimum value is 55%( ± 10).
It is undesirable to be engaged in transportation, loading / unloading of products in rainy, wet weather.
During the installation of
Work begins only if the room has a constant microclimate, without sudden changes in humidity or temperature. Therefore, the laying of a parquet board in the late autumn, before the very beginning of the heating period, is not recommended.
In operation
Care must be taken to maintain the appropriate microclimate. It may be necessary to purchase and install any climatic equipment. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the features of the operation of some devices, especially for heating. For example, reflectors dry the air, and lowered humidity does not have the best effect on the parquet board.
If you walk on the "finish" coating can be done in about 24 hours, then with furniture a little differently. It is advisable to proceed to its arrangement only after 10 days( this applies to boards that are varnished after installation or repair, associated with grinding and updating the front part), that is, after the complete application of the applied composition.
You can not walk around the room where the parquet board is laid, in "street" shoes. Or in the home, on a soft lining, or barefoot( on the issue of coating abrasion!).
Given that the wood is based on wood, you can not use detergent vacuum cleaners during cleaning. Only by conventional models intended only for dust collection.
Periodic wet cleaning is allowed, but only if the cloth is well wrung out and even small puddles on the floor are excluded.
Elimination of emerging spots by special means is allowed only in cases where they are "compatible" with lacquer. Otherwise, one can not avoid the appearance of divorces, "bald spots" and so on. From this point of view, various solvents, including alcohol-containing compounds, gasoline are prohibited.
The so-called "clinics" are on sale. These are cleaning compounds, which are absolutely inert with respect to lacquers. If the board is from a well-known manufacturer, and not a fake, then in the accompanying documentation there must be a list of recommended means for taking care of samples.
Pet lovers should take care of additional protection of the board, otherwise it will quickly appear a grid of the smallest scratches from the claws. For this, the means are used, which are analogues of varnishes( only a more liquid consistency) or special polishes based on wax.
Buying a parquet board of a specific manufacturer, you need to familiarize yourself with all the features of care for this particular product. The assortment of various sprays, polishes, "fresheners" is so big that it does not make sense to list everything. As for each sample the "means" approaches is suitable.
