Tinting parquet can be applied in the event that he needs to return an attractive appearance or simply change the color. This option will cost much less and does not require a complete replacement of parquet.
For toning parquet during its restoration, there are a number of special coloring agents and complexes that can radically change the color of the floor covering, as well as protect it from moisture or from mechanical damage.
The use of various tonic tools and systems
The means for toning parquet is better to choose from the proven manufacturers that have successfully proven themselves in this industry. For example, the German trademark "Neopur / Neolux", whose compositions are high-tech and have a high quality, can be cited.
This method, like tinting parquet with oil, has been used for a long time and quite successfully. For this type of work it is better to use a two-component oil composition or with an input component such as hard wax, otherwise several layers will have to be applied.
The choice of the composition depends primarily on the type of wood, if decorative, exotic tree species were used for the floor covering, special oils should be used, and the drying process will be prolonged due to the fact that these types of wood have oil pockets in their structure.
Toning parquet with oil contributes to its penetration deep into the pores of the wood, reliably protecting it not only on the surface, but also from the inside. Oil treated parquet freely "breathes", does not crack, is environmentally friendly, has a long operating period. This material can be used in any room, before re-use it does not require grinding, has a large color gamut, it is suitable for mixing in order to obtain a new shade.
Tinting of parquet with lacquer requires complete preliminary grinding and removal of the former color. The varnish is not able to penetrate into the structure of the tree, it is less resistant to stress, does not allow the wood to "breathe", is less moisture-resistant. It is better not to use lacquer to cover the parquet in rooms with intensive patency.
Toning the parquet in white, the so-called " whitewashed oak " is becoming an increasingly modern and stylish option for finishing the floor, optimally combined with window frames. The white floor is easily combined with various design styles, with furniture, accessories, there is almost no dust on it, it will bring a holiday atmosphere and a feeling of lightness to the room.
