Artificial protection of the surface of wooden products for a long time prolongs the period of their exploitation, while emphasizing the pristine beauty created by nature. In the trade network, the parquet board comes covered with varnish or oil. It is enough to have a little idea about the properties of protective substances in order to determine which product is best for you. It is necessary to do this with all responsibility, since it is practically impossible to switch from one type of processing to another.
Characteristics of oils for a parquet board
A distinctive property of oils is a deep penetration into the pores of the tree, which gives it the ability to breathe. The degree of impregnation and drying time directly depends on the amount of solvent that is contained in the oil. If it is not enough, the wood becomes soaked more weakly, and, accordingly, dries faster. But the main advantage of the floors under the layer of parquet oil is the expressiveness of the relief patterns and the ease of restoration work after accidental damage, as well as resistance to temperature and humidity changes. Excess moisture easily escapes without any damage to the wood.
The oil for renovation of the parquet board is safe production, because it is created on the basis of natural oils, natural dyes and wax. Parquet oil with hard wax has increased water-repellent properties, the surface covered by it is not slippery, dirt becomes less adherent to it.
The finish coat can be completely transparent, matte, white, cherry, maple, wenge or any other breed. With all the positive qualities, minus oils is a more thorough preparation of the floor before its primary application and the same care for the parquet board in the future, which consists in periodically coating it with special compounds.
