Listen to me, parquet is a living creature that will never last you for a long time if you do not devote time to care for it. If you ate you more often care for a parquet floor, then it will serve you and delight you and your family for a very long period of time, and will also provide you with a pleasant stay in the apartment and create an atmosphere of comfort in the dwelling.
Let’s, first, consider the behavior of parquet flooring under different climatic and microclimatic conditions. School books in physics tells that wooden surfaces tend to compress at low temperatures, and expand at high. Since the parquet is still a tree, these effects can also be observed on it. For example, in the summer, when the air temperature can reach forty degrees Celsius, the parquet strips increase in size, and in the winter, when the temperature constantly fluctuates within zero – twenty degrees of frost, the parquet narrows. What to do if your house is very cold? I mean old Khrushchevs, which has a very poor thermal conductivity. The parquet floor can just fly away, and in winter the cracks form in it.
Of course, a tree of trees has a great influence on the state of parquet, because, if you are dealing with oaks, maple or nut, then there are almost no problems.
Let’s look at the details of the care of the parquet base in summer and winter time.
WINTER
When winter time comes, the parquet board begins to narrow. Ugly cracks are formed at the site of the seams. An important role in this process is played by a house that is heated and forms dry air, thereby ensuring favorable conditions for narrowing the parquet. If you want to avoid such troubles, install a special device for moisturizing air in the house, or put the humidifier in the air vent. In order to see changes in the humidity indicator, set the moisture meter.
SUMMER
In order to eliminate the process of expanding the planks in the summer period, you should use the air conditioning that cool the air, and thereby ensure the parking of long -term operation.
