Correct maintenance of natural wood parquet

Correct maintenance of the natural wood floor is essential to guarantee its durability and beauty over time. An important first step in this process is the correct choice of the type of parquet. There are numerous wood species, each with unique characteristics that influence not only the aesthetic appearance, but also the resistance to wear. For example, oak floors are known for their durability, while teak floors offer excellent moisture resistance. We at RATGROUP SRL are proud of our experience in selecting the best types of natural wood parquet, suitable for the needs of each customer, be it residential complexes OR residential projects.

Preparing the surface before installing the parquet is another fundamental aspect. It is important that the substrate is clean, dry and uniform. We use professional substrate milling equipment, such as our Bosch hardware, to ensure the surface is perfectly prepared. This not only makes installation easier, but also contributes to the longevity of the parquet. We also use specialist Wolf and Janser machines to achieve a flawless finish.

Daily cleaning of the natural wood floor is essential to preserve its appearance. We recommend using a damp but not wet brush and a specially formulated wood cleaner. It is important to avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. Our team of experts ensures that each customer receives personalized advice on parquet maintenance, suited to their lifestyle and the type of parquet chosen.

Recommended products for parquet maintenance include UZIN and Wakol adhesives, recognized for their superior quality. These products not only help with installation, but also contribute to the long-term maintenance of the parquet. We also use natural oils that help maintain the shine and protect the wood from wear and tear.

The frequency and methods of polishing the parquet are essential to keeping it impeccable. We recommend polishing the parquet every 6-12 months, depending on traffic. We use Columbus professional sanders to obtain a uniform and brilliant finish. This method not only improves the aesthetic appearance, but also helps protect the wood from scratches.

Preventing scratches and damage to parquet is a priority. The use of doormats and furniture leg protectors can significantly reduce the risk of scratches. Our team also recommends avoiding high-heeled shoes on natural wood surfaces. In a recent apartment complex project in Bihor, we implemented these preventative measures and the results were excellent.

Humidity plays a crucial role in the maintenance of wooden floors. It is important that the humidity level in the room is maintained between 40-60%. Using a humidifier in cold weather can prevent wood cracking. We at RATGROUP SRL make sure that our customers are informed about the importance of this aspect and offer them customized solutions.

The repair of small defects in the parquet is an integral part of its maintenance. Surface scratches can be easily repaired using a wood repair kit or special oils. In a project carried out for the Regional Hospital of Passau, we managed to restore an old parquet, bringing it back to life through simple repair techniques.

The advantages deriving from the use of natural oils for parquet maintenance are many. They penetrate the wood, providing additional protection against moisture and wear. Natural oils help maintain the original color of the wood and give it a warm and pleasant appearance. At RATGROUP SRL we use the highest quality oils which have demonstrated excellent results in our projects.

Protecting parquet from UV rays and sun exposure is essential to prevent discoloration. We recommend using curtains or blinds to limit direct exposure to the sun. Furthermore, the application of a special protective layer can help maintain the original color of the wood in the long term.

Temperature has a significant impact on natural wood floors. Large temperature fluctuations can cause wood to expand or contract, which can lead to cracks or warping. It is important to maintain a constant temperature inside, especially in cold weather.

In the cold season, parquet maintenance requires particular attention. Low indoor humidity can cause wood to crack, so it is essential to use humidifiers. Additionally, regularly cleaning snow or dirt from your shoes is crucial to avoiding scratches.

Choosing the right carpets and rugs for your wooden floor is another important aspect of its maintenance. It is advisable to opt for carpets with soft foam or non-slip backing to avoid damage to the parquet. We at RATGROUP SRL offer personalized advice to our customers to help them make the best choices.
