Wooden coatings, and parquet, too, look interesting and effectively. They are chosen for many positive features - naturalness, ecological purity, attractive appearance, the possibility for coating "breathe". However, for a luxury appearance has to pay, because the coverage is not forever and the problems are not excluded. Parquet Bay is becoming one of the frequent problems. The question arises - what to do: lay new or repair the old one?
The process of repairing parquet, which suffered after the flooding of wood coating with water
What to do immediately after flooding?
After the parquet bay it is worth a number of actions promptly. Among them are the following:
- Elimination of the water source is a broken tube, broken crane and so on. It is worth covering the water and, if necessary, cause plumbing.
- Next, remove water from the floor. You should get rid of all the water, open windows for venting and drying the apartment.
- Now you can solve the problem yourself or call specialists.
Attention! If the parquet bay occurs, the water should be quickly removed. If this is not done, the tree will begin to absorb water and the parquet swell. Literally in front, parquet dies are increasing in size and the so-called boat will appear.
Parquet, which suffered from high humidity, which led to the deformation of the dies It is not necessary to save at such a situation, as it leads to negative consequences: from a non-pieces of parquet to fungus. This adversely affects the health of households.
What are the consequences of flooding of the floor?
If you give a parquet to dry, it will lead to the consequences. Parquet will be fined, waves will appear, bent. Under the parquet will appear mold and fungus. If you do nothing, the edges of the duck are ducky, they appear spots that are not removed by ordinary grinding.
In addition, the consequences depend on the wood breed from which parquet is made. They react differently to high humidity. The beech is prone to moisture - it strongly absorbs moisture. Oak is considered sustainable, but even it is deformed when drying. After drying is complete, the waves will decrease, but will not be completely eliminated.
Waves on the surface of the coating after flooding with water The effects of the parquet bay water depend on how the flooring was laid, from its quality and quality of materials used, some other factors. Water absorbed into the parquet, and in the substrate. If the parquet is not laid on the substrate, but on the lags, water accumulates under them. This will lead to the fact that it will fall to the neighbors from below.
The next consequence becomes the appearance of mold, which gradually develops into the fungus. Mold and fungus are considered strong allergens due to dispute selection. Therefore, they affect the upper respiratory tracts and lightweight, provoking allergic reactions and asthma. Eliminate mold is difficult, as it penetrates into the wall, and in the wood.
Basic Parquet Recovery Methods
Multicify a lot of parquet recovery methods. Specific is selected based on the area of \u200b\u200bthe affected area and its condition. In some cases, it is necessary to dismantle the area of \u200b\u200bthe square, and in others it is enough to improve the ventilation system of the parquet.
Parquet's bloody caused by the impact of excessive moisture Dismantling parquet will be needed in cases where it is not subject to repair. This happens with serious flooding. If this did not happen, you can replace individual sections. First, the parquet give time for complete drying. It depends on some factors - temperature and humidity indoor air, floor design. Duration of drying varies from a couple of weeks to several months. Only after the wood coating is completely dried, proceed to recovery.
If mold or fungus was formed under an outdoor surface, it processes it. To do this, use a solution of chlorine or special chemical compositions. If you cannot get rid of mold or fungus, you will have to dismantle the affected areas.
Using a grinding machine for surface alignment After drying and preliminary preparation is completed, proceed directly to repair, eliminate the screen and restore the wooden surface. For this use dies that are not damaged by water, repeated. Those dies that are not subject to use are replaced with new ones. The final step is a restoration that suggests a squabble, grinding, opening with protective oil. As an alternative, you can use mastic. If you do everything right, the coating will last another dozen years old.
Bloating and solving the problem
Swimming and creaking of a wooden surface is a serious problem that requires solutions. The first step becomes getting rid of the voltage. For this disassemble the sections that are damaged by moisture. Next, give to dry. Only after that the repair continues. It is preferable to make or expand the deformation seams, even if the cause of damage is not in them. Planks with slots should be replaced with new ones. Do not blame them.
The planks that were selected for drying are laid in place and look at how much they deformed. If there are small cracks, it should not worry. They are easy to fix with a putty for parquet. Broken mounts are not repaired, but replaced with new ones. After the repair is completed, the surface is grin and coated with a layer of oil or mastic.
Sometimes there is no "relative" dies in the reserve or it is not possible to choose similar in color even after coloring. In this case, it is recommended to rearrange the planks from invisible places to the central part of the coating. You can remove from corners or places under furniture. They put new ones, which are somehow different. In this case, it will be possible to maintain the aesthetics of the coating without a complete replacement.
Coverage that suffered from water and requires recovery One of the stages becomes alignment of the surface. It is suitable for him. It is worth using a grinding machine, with which it is possible to remove the surface to one level. After that, it remains to cover the parquet lacquer. It is necessary to prepare for what is required to make the procedure several times.
What if the parquet creaks?
Sometimes after drying, a characteristic screech appears. The script should be eliminated that the parquet operation is comfortable. For this, the place of damage to a particular parquet site is determined. Most often, the flooring of the parquet is underwent and breathed, because of this and creak appears.
Attention!To understand the nature of the problem, use the construction level, which are put in the scene and see the location of the air bubble. During the measurement, the construction level should not be touched. It is advisable to move away away, since the weight of a person affects the level, and the high-quality work on the elimination of the chripping parquet will not work.
After the place and cause of the violin is installed, proceed to the restoration. To do this, drill a hole with a diameter of 2.5-3 mm in the "walking" barn bar. Through it pump glue under the wood surface. You should choose that glue that is suitable for working with a tree. After that, the holes are closed with a wooden plug, the surface is clean and grinding. However, this is not completed on this.
The next step of getting rid of the screen becomes laid or attracting the plank to the base with the help of fasteners, which use screws. They are neatly trimmed, and the hats are masked by mastic. These are important stages to eliminate the screens.
In some cases, the boards rub about the mount, screw or nail, and creak appears. Then the creak is eliminated without opening work. Next mount the extra mount, securely locking the board. This will eliminate the creak. In most cases, it is possible to restore the surface, even if it has been handled and an unpleasant creak appeared.
Flooring, which is restored after the exposure of moisture Attention!If for some reason you can't fix the screech with your own hands, it is worth seeking help from specialists. You have to choose exceptionally experienced masters who know the subtleties of solving the problem. They will correct the appearance of black, mold or violin.
Restoration of parquet after the bay with water is a long process. It is based on drying, eliminate the screenshot, mold and fungus. It is necessary to immediately prepare for the fact that the parquet can darken or become black. In most cases, it is possible to correct the situation with their own hands while driving and decorating the laid parquet. Make everything is required quickly, so that the blackened parquet does not have time to come into disrepair. If you lose the moment, laying a new parquet.
Cork covers for walls Surprisingly harmonious with its natural decorativeness and rare practicality. Elegant and comfortable they give the solidity and sophistication to the inner decoration of the premises. Excellent performance and wide range of collections makes it possible to use these covers both in the living room, bedroom and kitchen and in the office of the head.
One of the types of wall plugs is a decorative plug in rolls, the usual size of which is 1000 × 500 × 2 mm. The coating base is an extruded cork crumb, which is then applied with a decorative cork veneer. Its linear dimensions and technical characteristics of a roll stopper does not change the year from year to year. It is easy and easy to work with it, it is elastic and elastic, combined with all types of finishing materials.
When testing rolled cork coatings are not observed by blinking or opening when conducting various studies: the action of constant humidity and alternately humidity and heat. However, in practice, as in this case, it often happens on the contrary - a slight soaking and expensive cork coating was smelled and went with bubbles.
The defective "cut" must be dried before gluing on a flat flat surface, it is desirable to press it with a large flat sheet. Most often, the cork coating dries smoothly. If when drying bubbles remained, unfortunately, it is impossible to glue it - defects will be visible.
If you bought 2 mm-blank wallpapers (not on a paper basis), it is best to glue them to a special glue composition "Kork", which is ideal for self-gluing, which will avoid errors, as it allows you to adjust the canvas, unlike the contact glue.
From contact adhesives, you can apply "Novopren", which is recommended for cork coatings. Before use, glue should be mixed well, then with a brush, roller or spatula with rare teeth, apply on both bonded surfaces. The surfaces must be previously cleaned of dust and dirt, be necessarily dry and not bulk. After applying glue, it is necessary to wait 10-20 minutes, so that it absorbs - was not a sticky to the touch. By connecting both surfaces, with an effort and evenly press the cork coating, avoiding the appearance of air bubbles. The edges of the plates are recommended to catch a rubber hammer for better contact with the wall, if there are remnants of glue on the surface of the plates, they should be removed immediately with a rag. The glue grably grabs immediately, so after the connection, the correction of the plates is impossible. Full gluing time from 30 to 60 minutes. The glue has great resistance to heat. Approximate consumption of adhesive composition is 200g / m².
To glue the cork coating, you can also use Bunitex R-55 glue or some other special adhesive composition.

Discussion of the issue on the forum:
Tell me, please, what we do, bought cork wallpaper without the basis and accidentally watched one cut with water - he swollen in places. During drying whether bubbles will remove? And is it possible to glue them for glue for heavy wallpaper?Just like any floor coverings, products made of solid or agglomerated traffic jams are subject to gradual wear, fading, that is, aging in all signs. To extend the life of its service, you need to follow the three basic rules: accuracy, proper care for the cork floor and the timely restoration of the surface.
Decorative and protective finish products are made from the bark of oak growing in the countries of the Mediterranean. It is neatly removed from the tree, then in special aggregates crushed into a small crumb - granulate. Then it is mixed with thermosetting resins, in special thermal layers, the process of forming sheets is mixed. It turns out the so-called agglomerate in the plates from which they produce:
For laminated or adhesive products of premium-grade, it is not granulated, but veneer - thin layers of whole cortex cork.
On the recommendation of the manufacturers, the floor of the pasted tiles with a clean surface after installation should be protected with 3 layers of polyurethane or acrylic varnish. This is necessary because the plug is a soft coating, unstable to abrasion, abrasives and damage. In addition, outdoor material can swell, crumble.
In some cases, buyers choose special oils or waxes that are impregnated or rubber coating. The advantage of these funds is that they do not create a polymer film on the surface, the floor remains warm and pleasant to touch, is protected from direct sunlight. But the shortcomings still outweigh. Oil-wax composition:
In fairness, we note that the lacquer coating is also not protected from the appearance of scratches, chips, clouds, etc. Therefore, with the time the restoration will be needed to him.
How to care for cork floors
In order for the floor to serve more than one year, it retained its aesthetics and integrity during the entire operational period, manufacturers have developed a number of recommendations and rules for the care of coatings from solid or agglomerated traffic jam.
The main "enemy" of flooring is considered not hiking, but abrasive is a small street sand. Located home, each person lies solid particles on their soles. They constantly scratch the coating, damaging its surface layers, minor risks and other signs of wear appear. Therefore, manufacturers insist on compliance with preventive measures:
- Conduct daily wet cleaning. It is better to use a vacuum cleaner for this.
- Apply for cleaning brush with a coarse pile, abrasive detergents or aggressive household chemicals.
- Leave for a long time spilled on the surface of water.
- To allow sharp drops of temperature and humidity. Optimal operating conditions: T \u003d + 15 - +30 ° C, F \u003d 45-65%.
For cork floors, you need to use a special series of care products, including:
All means are divided into washes and indelible, for manual or machine processing. It is extremely unwanted to use them not by appointment, otherwise there is a risk to spoil the coating, and irrevocably.
How to restore the cork floor
If the lacquer coating was noticeably lost, she lost his hand and transparency, it can be restored with his own hands or invite specialists for this work. The technique includes the following steps:
- Careful surface grinding with small abrasive graininess up to 220 units. For this purpose, a grinding machine or ordinary sandpaper manual paper is used.
- Removal of dust with a vacuum cleaner and a wet soft tissue.
- Applying primer and varnish in 2-3 layers in accordance with the instructions. Intermediate drying between layers - at least 6 hours.
If the repair of the local area is required due to significant damage to the tiles, then in the first place you need to look for the material suitable in color and structure. The problem is that the plug is a natural coating, so in different parts, as well as due to the constant exposure to sunlight, the bar will differ by tone and pattern, sometimes essentially.
The glued tile is removed with difficulty, so it will actually have to be removed in pieces. The base before installing the new coating should be aligned and rejected. Funds are selected based on the type of base. For a screed, this is a cement-sand mixture or quick-drying cement, for plywood, chipboard - wood putty, etc.
Another type of problems with cork coatings - dug-up strips. The cause can be incorrectly selected composition, violation of the laying technology and even the floor heating system. In any case, the tile must be removed, clean and dry. The base is determined, the glue is applied with a toothed spatula and the bar is glued into place.
Laminers of cork laminate - damaged elements are cut with a circular saw and removed by the chisel with a hammer. The new slap is cut off, a joinery glue composition or PVA is applied around the perimeter, inserted into place and it is impressed by at least a day.
So, care and restoration for cork floors are not too complex and time-consuming processes. They should not be neglected if you want the floor to serve successfully for long years.

Currently, one of the most popular sexual coatings is laminate.
It is used in the arrangement of the premises of all types:
- residential;
- office;
- public.
Such popularity of this material is due to many positive characteristics inherent in it, in particular, deserves mention:
- ease of installation;
- high aesthetic qualities;
- low price;
- excellent performance characteristics.
Despite this, the bloating of laminate is quite often observed, which leads not only to the deterioration of the aesthetic properties of the room, but also causes certain inconveniences. In this article, illustrated photos, we will consider in detail what to do if the laminate swelled.
Note! Our tips will help you understand how to fix the swollen laminate with your own hands.
Do not panic - all problems are solved
And although the price of such an outdoor coating, as a laminate, is not so high, but this is not a reason immediately proceeding to its replacement if certain defects arose on its surface.
Defects can manifest in different ways:
- bloating;
- irregularities;
- waves.
In such situations, it is important to know how to understand why the laminate swept and only after that it starts to eliminate defects. Do not panic and try to replace flooring immediately. You can do without such radical measures.
The main reasons for damage
So let's understand why the laminate swells.
The main reasons for such a negative effect may be several:
- errors when laying;
- low quality material itself;
- a large amount of water was praised on the floor.
Why laminate swept easily to determine the features of manifestation :
- the wave-like effect is manifested in case of incorrect installation, when the clearance was not provided between the walls and the coating;
- blooming in places of joints, a little bloody is characteristic of high humidity.
Council. Fully proceeding with the replacement of the coating follows only if it has been found that the defects of the floor are due to the low quality of the laminate. In other cases, eliminate irregularities are quite real.
How to align laminate
In this section, we will look at how you can correct the situation if the laminate has taken away for one reason or another.
Water Water
First of all, let's see what to do if the laminate from the water was swept away. Perhaps this is one of the most popular causes of damage to the coating.
A variant of excessive moisture can be a great set:
- damped cup with tea;
- inverted vase with flowers;
- too intense wet cleaning using a large amount of water and so on.
It doesn't matter what exactly the cause of damage was caused, it is important to understand how to eliminate the bloating of the laminate so that he again pleased with his magnificent aesthetic properties.
Council. In order to prevent such a damage to the coating, it is recommended to periodically process it with paraffin or polyrollas that repulse moisture.
In some cases, after evaporation of moisture, the floor becomes even again, acquires its original appearance, but such a "focus" is possible only with expensive quality materials that do not absorb moisture as a sponge, but still capable of repelly.
To save the floor from excess moisture, you have to disassemble the laminate, because most often the water is going to under it. If this is done immediately after you have shed a large amount of water, then the laminate will not have time to boost.
The second option is to replace the damaged panels, but it is not always efficient and rationally, especially if the flooring is exploited before it for several years, since the coating has lost its natural color and even if you buy the panel of the same brand, they will stand out on a general background.
Council. In this case, you can do differently. Remove the part of the panels that are under any furniture, for example, under the table or cabinet, and rearrange damaged to the place, and damaged to replace the panels of another shade - they are still not visible under furniture.
Mounting errors
The second common option is the emergence of errors on the coating - errors when it is mounted. Most often, this is expressed in that the stacker did not leave spaces between the panels and the wall.
It is determined by the fact that over time the coating expands and, resting in the wall, begins to rise, waves are formed on it.
- remove plinths;
- put the laminate so that after trimming between the wall (taking into account the plinth) and the flooring remained at least one and a half centimeters of free space.
- trim up the extra sections of the coating;
- install plinths.
Council. Another reason why problems with the quality of the coating can occur are to install on the laminate of the locks for doors. If you need to install such a fixture, it is better to cut a small hole in the coating.
How to prevent bloody
First of all, it is necessary to adhere to the coating installation technology, which is not so complicated as it may seem. The main thing is to customize every tile strictly in the junction, save the distance between the tiles and the wall around the perimeter of the room - about one and two centimeters.
This will avoid the bloating subsequently when the laminate will expand. If you are placing this coating in the bathroom or in the kitchen, be sure to handle it with special means repulsioning moisture.
And most importantly - take only high-quality material. His difference from poor quality significantly! And it is expressed, in particular, in the fact that it does not so much absorb moisture and it takes better effects of high temperature. Naturally, the price will be different, but it is better to invest in a good material that will delight you for many years than to constantly change the coverage that ultimately will lead to even more costs.
In conclusion
Holding to the rules and advice given above, you can not only protect the coating from the impact of moisture, but also quickly return it to him the perfect appearance, if the laminate still swept.
