7 Easy Steps To Repair/Restore You Parquet Floor 7



applying the new finish

HardWaxOil (two-in-one product) will show off your restored floor best, bringing out its natural character in a none-glossy way. The oil will penetrate the wood for long term protection and the wax will create your wear and tear layer, protecting your floor against dirt and drips. If you prefer a varnished or lacquered finish you’ll have to sand again with grit 150 to prepare the wood as best as possible for a varnish/lacquer finish.

Always, always read the instructions of the product you’re going to use. HardWaxOil tins should be shaken firmly before opening to make sure the oil and wax are mixed together. Apply the HWO thinly with a brush or sponge on a small area (3 – 5 sq m at the time). See below for a professional HardWaxOil applicator for a smooth, thin and professional end result. Then immediately go over it with a clean, non-fluffy cloth or white-pad on buffing machine to spread it out evenly, giving you the best result. Continue to apply and spread the HWO this way until you’ve finished the whole floor. Let it dry for 6 – 8 hours and apply the second coat of HardWaxOil. This has to be done within 36 hours after finishing the first coat! Otherwise you’ll have to lightly sand the whole floor again (grit 120). Use the same applying/spreading method as with the first coat and let it dry again for 6 – 8 hours
