Sanding parquet floors does demand a little more appreciation for how the blocks are laid. This is in comparison to other, larger wooden boards. Parquet floors are incredibly popular. They offer the same sophisticated look and characterful appearance. However, there is something quite amazing about the ways the boards are laid.
We sometimes find that people do not know that parquet floors are laid as small, individual boards. Some believe that they are laid in sheets. This is certainly not the case and shows an insight into the intricacy and detail demanded to lay a beautiful parquet floor.
There are often trends that come round again but it appears that parquet flooring is one that seems to have stood the test of time. It is as popular now as it has always been.
Sanding Parquet Floors – What to Watch out For
By the very way that parquet floors are laid, it is important to take great care when approaching restoration. Preparation is always key with floor sanding. However, this is incredibly important with parquet boards. Damage may just happen because they are not appropriately fixed down or in that they come loose because they are protruding past the level of the other boards.
If you start sanding the floor without the appropriate preparation, then you can easily damage some of the boards. This will then result in the need to replace them.
Did you know that it is not always as easy as it seems? Parquet boards come in different sizes including width, length and thickness. Furthermore, they are also available in different wood types. It is important to get this combination right in order to reduce the likelihood that you will see the repair once the floor has been fully restored.
