One of the key stages of parking repair is its grinding (or cyclist). This is the most crucial and laborious type of parquet work (unless, of course, we are talking about laying a new coating or an old crossing). When cycling, the parquet needs an excellent eye, scrupulousness and the ability to work with a grinding machine.
Is it possible to restore the parquet on your own without addressing the services of professionals? Theoretically – yes. However, we consider it our duty to draw your attention to the fact that this theoretical opportunity is by no means a hundred percent guarantee that a beginner will be able to qualitatively grind the first time. Like many other types of repair work, the parquet cycle requires not only knowledge of the process characteristics, but also practical experience.
If you still decide to repair the parquet, and in particular its grinding, with your own hands, you will need it: you will need it:
Three types of parquet-grinding machines. Rough (primary) processing of a wooden floor is carried out using a ribbon type machine with high power and allows you to completely clean the floor of pollution and small flaws, such as scratches and potholes. At this stage, irregularities of the coating are also eliminated. When a rough cycle is completed, the coating in the corners of the room is polished, in the immediate vicinity of the walls and other places, which are difficult to reach. To perform this work, an angle grinding machine will be required. The final stroke of the cycle – “final” processing of the floor with a flat grinding machine.
Vacuum cleaner. In the process of grinding, wood dust is formed, capable of flying throughout the room and “clog” into the most inaccessible places. To avoid this, it is necessary to use a special industrial vacuum cleaner of high power – the usual one has insufficient performance.
Abrasives and consumables. As abrasive material, sandpaper of four types is used – more rough for preparatory grinding, thinner – for the finish. After completing the cycle, you will need a primer, putty and varnish. It is also necessary to take care of the necessary tools.
As you can see, the equipment is very diverse. Of course, for one repair, you should not buy expensive parquet-grinding equipment-it can be rented (although its rental prices are also quite high). Before proceeding with the cyclist, you should figure out how grinding machines work – they are not so easy to use. Do not tune in to the fact that the work will be completed in a short time-only experienced specialists can grind in one or two days-the newcomer will have to tinker longer.
