Pine floors, despite their relatively hard rocks, softer wood are valued for the characteristic texture and coloring, fragrant resins that give to a certain extent the properties of moisture resistance. However, among the features of coniferous wood there are both that minus that the resin standing on the surface can spoil appearance products from it. Pine board floor lacquer is used precisely in order to smooth the negative sides of the material and strengthen its advantages.

Why pine floor lacine?

Pine floors of houses, apartments, cottages are covered with protective varnish, which can be both natural and synthetic components. Depending on the type of varnish, you will receive a matte or glossy coating that will create favorable conditions for durable use of the sexes:

  • The floor covered with varnish to some extent is protected from moisture drops: it does not swell from the long exposure to high humidity, does not crack from the underwent indoor air.
  • Varnish protects the board from mechanical wear: Even if the floors were subjected to mechanical damage, the board will not suffer, but only injured a varnish coating. It can be easily restored with minimum labor.
  • The lacquered floor is more durable and durable: the coating protects the wood from abrasion, the occurrence of mold, rotting.

Subtleties of floor protection from pine

In order for the floor from the pine for a long time without abrasion, rotting, the loss of noble appearance, it is important to comply with the following rules of the coating:

  • Pay attention to the preliminary preparation of the floor. Do not avoid additional processing by degreasing means before applying the first, main layer of varnish: so you will improve the adhesion and extend the service life of the lacquer coating.
  • Adhere to the recommendations for applying the manufacturer: they are always indicated on its packaging. Observe the procedure, exposure time and the amount of layers applied.
  • So that the coating is not peeled, it is desirable for dry wood with purified pore to apply primer. It will be a link between the tree and varnish, which will improve operational performance and coverage utilization.
  • If there is an excessive amount of resin on certain areas of the board, it is important to eliminate and neutralize deeply penetrating special means.

Criteria for choosing a varnish for floors of pine

Wooden floor lacquer from pine has its own specific features. Since pine belongs to the category of soft wood, not all the means for varnishing are suitable for carpet processing or other outdoor coating From pine.

How to choose Pine Floor Lacquer:

  • Choose products with a mark "for soft wood."
  • Prefer lacquer based on urethane and polyurethane resins. Such compositions are left on the board a dense protective film, which at the same time has high elasticity and retains integrity with any surface deformations under load.
  • Before choosing, what a floor lacquer from a pine board to buy, evaluate the operating conditions and the requirements for the coating.
  • Calculate the load in advance and select the composition according to the degree of resistance, not overpaying.
  • If you choose a room for a room with high humidity and mechanical loads, then give preference to water-repellent oil products.





Types of varnishes for pine and their features

Wooden floor lacquer from pine is manufactured on water based on either organic solvents.

  • Water soluble lacquer allocates steam only, therefore it is safe to use in the interior of residential premises.
  • Solvent-based varnishes have a sharp smell. Therefore, they are used for external work or indoors under the condition of good ventilation during the period of the procedure.

Classification of the resins contained in the composition:

  • On the acrylic basis - It has more low price Compared to polyurethane, however, inferior in elasticity. Because of this acrylic varnish Not effective on pine semi with high loads.
  • Oil materials show themselves in the processing of pine floors. The only drawback is for a long time Drying.
  • For soft wood, in particular - for pine, it is not recommended to choose compositions on an epoxy and alkyd basis. Since the pivoting structure of the tree under load can be deformed, the wear-resistant solid film of these varnish categories loses its advantages, cracks and crumbs.
Acrylic and polyurethane formulations are the best choice for coniferous wood. Choosing Syakos Lucky, you get an eco-friendly and safe material, ideal for pine processing. It can be stored in intact packaging from 5 years, does not highlight toxic substances And there is no smell, does not harm ecology and your health.

By degree of shine you can choose:

  • glossy and high-gloss coatings with reflection up to 80-90%;
  • hygalline surfaces reflect up to 40-50% of light;
  • matte and semi-wave varnishes have a minimal degree of shine - only 10-15%.

How to vanish a pine floor


To apply the floor lacquer from a pine board, you will need such a list of tools:

  • putty knife;
  • polishing machine;
  • brushes and rollers - when manually applying varnish, the paintopult - with mechanical application;
  • abrasive;
  • a vacuum cleaner.

Before applying the floor should be thoroughly wired and dried. Next, the work is performed in stages:

  1. Paul grind.
    Before latest Cycle Grinding All sex gaps need to be put out with a putty, then process with grinders. It is important to remove the dust and wood chips with a vacuum cleaner to reveal the pores of the material and improve the grip with the primer.
  2. Wood is ground.
    Use the brush by leading it in the direction of the structure of wood fibers. Watch that the remedy is uniformly.
  3. Application of varnish (2 layers).
    A roller or brush along the fibers of the tree is carried out slowly and evenly, avoiding the formation of clots and spots. Each layer must be dried within 24 hours, after which it is necessary to handle the abrasive, spending and rub a slightly wet matter.

Whatever new outdoor coatings are pleased with the modern technologies for building materials, with natural wood, probably no of them will never compare. Natural beautiful texture, pleasant color, peculiar warmth of wood is an unattainable level for synthetics or composite materials. It is funny to remember, but 30 years ago, the wooden floors were perceived as something "retrograd", and they were in a hurry to replace them with a new-fashioned linoleum, while not thinking about how much they were lost.

Of course, if in some used room The floors are mounted from a low-quality board, they can simply be painted. But hide a beautiful texture drawing of wood on the floors in residential rooms - It's just a crime. However, natural material is quite vulnerable and requires protection from external negative influences. There is a way out - this is a coating of a wooden lacquer.

  • First, the chief "enemy" is almost any woody - this is moisture. Water absorbs into the structure of the tree or, on the contrary, over time actively evaporates, changing geometrical dimensions and the form of details, leading to the deformation of the overall design. Typical examples - swelling wooden products or their drying and in that, and in another case An ending violation of their integrity and fit. Luck also creates a protective film that does not allow such differences of the moisture of material.
  • Secondly, natural wood very often becomes a nutrient medium for microflora, insects or rodents. Lacation minimizes this danger.
  • Thirdly, the lacquer coating increases the surface strength of wood. The surface of the floor becomes less vulnerable to mechanical, especially point and abrasive loads.
  • Fourthly, the floor surface will not actively absorb pollution, and care for it is greatly simplified.
  • And fifth, the lacquer not only does not hide the natural texture and colors of wood - it is able to even strengthen the effect, it is advantageous to emphasize the drawing of wood fibers, and their natural shade. In this case, the protective layer will retain this decorativeness of without any fading or abrasion of the surface.

What varnishes are used on wooden floors

From the amateuric point of view, it may seem that the wooden floor lacquer is some kind of single material used everywhere and with any types of coatings. In fact, you can list at least a dozen only different types varnish, not to mention specific brands and types.

First of all, they are divided into large groups - cooked water-based or with the use of organic solvents.

Water soluble are cleaner in terms of ecology, give much less unpleasant odor when frozen, but it is believed that they are somewhat losing varnishes based on organic matter in part fit wooden floors Surface strength.

By type of the main binder component, varnishes for wooden floors are divided into the following types:

  • Acrylic varnishes are produced exclusively on a water basis, have excellent spreadability, very convenient when performing work. The coating gets good elasticity. The disadvantage - the resulting transparent layer has not too high strength quality. The price of such varnishes is quite affordable.
  • Alkyd varnishes for wood - differ very fast drying, resistant to abrasion, but the impact strength is low due to insufficient elasticity.
  • Oil varnishes - based on natural vegetable oils and resins. It does not apply as an finishing coating - their purpose is limited to the preliminary coating of wood.
  • Polyurethane varnishes - according to many painters, the optimal choice. We are produced both on water and organic basis. Different I. high strength, and the elasticity of the resulting coating. The disadvantage is perhaps only one - water-soluble polyurethane varnishes are fairly expensive, and on an organic basis - when frozen is frozen, a sharp unpleasant smell is published.
  • Epoxy varnishes are good practically in all respects (exception, perhaps only insufficient elasticity). Big sign "Minus" by these materials is the complexity of working with them. They are always a two-component, which implies the observance of the technology of cooking varnish immediately before applying, and the small "life expectancy" of the finished solution.
  • Polyurethane-acrylic varnishes are designed for mass application. Manufacturers have tried to combine the quality of costly PU materials with a low acrylic price. To some extent it was possible, but the strength of such varnishes, of course, lower.
  • Urethane varnishes have good strength and plasticity indicators, low price. They are quite suitable for floors in rooms, where large loads are not supposed. Their dignity - they do not "glue" neighboring flooring or parquetin, on the contrary, are a kind of damper with thermal linear fluctuations in parts.
  • Similar properties, but only greater mechanical strength, have wooden coatings with applied on them uretanovo alkyds varnish.
  • Rare view of varnishes - urea formaldehyde. In housing construction, they are infrequently used due to low environmental qualities.
  • Alcohol varnishes are good because due to the high speed of evaporation of alcohols, they are very quickly frozen, while they have excellent adhesion to any base. The coating of them is durable, characterized by a characteristic gloss. Characteristic feature - Ability to apply large number Layer as old, without loss of decorativeness. All spoils only them chief flaw - They are very unstable to water.

The selection of the right varnish for one or another room is a kind of high qualification indicator of this specialist. Taken into account at the same time much - intensity Movement on Lou, Temperature and humidity modes (ordinary and critical), view and variety of Dr. Eucan, the need for mattness or glossing coating, desired decorativeness and much more. To learn this by simply reading the article, it is impossible - it comes only with experience, therefore only a few recommendations for the use of varnishes for wooden floors are given:

  • If lacquer floors are covered in rooms with high humidity (for example, a kitchen or bathroom), then the choice should be made in favor of waterproof compositions - polyurethane, uretanovo alkyds or urethane.
  • When vacating the wooden floor in the nursery or in the bedroom to the fore, there are considerations of environmental purity. It is important that a special symbol is present on the lacquer lacquer. EN.71 .3 ". This is usually polyurethane varnishes with a minimum pour period, and therefore be allocations at this time toxic evaporation.
  • Floors in the hallway, living room, lobby, steps and platforms of wooden stairs are experiencing significant mechanical and abrasive loads. In addition to expensive polyurethane varnishes, epoxy compositions are fully applicable here.
  • On the porch or at the entrance to the house can be quite slippery enough, and the risk of getting injuries will significantly reduce urethane varnishes - they are expressed by an anti-slip effect.
  • If the floors are vocked in country housein which in winter Heating will not work, it is better to resort to urethane or uretanovo alkyd composition. They are not afraid of high humidity, and high elasticity will not destroy the lacquered coating due to thermal extensions of wood.

How to spend the work on the varnishing of the wooden floor

Before proceeding to work on the direct application of a varnish on the surface of the wooden floor, you will need to perform several preparatory stages, without which the lacquering itself is simply meaningless.

Preliminary preparation of the surface of a wooden floor

We will proceed from the assumptions that the surface of the floor is durable, smooth, does not have significant defects, that is, the questions of any repair do not rise. Nevertheless, work will have a lot:

  • Be sure to carefully examine the entire surface for the identification of a clearly annoying burr, protruding fibers - all this is subject to removal.
  • Be sure to be triggered to the surface of the tree with nails or self-tapping screws - they will quickly lead the emery paper in the next stage of work.
  • The remaining hats, small recesses should be gently close in a special putty on a tree suitable for color Tone to the total surface. This composition is easy to do and independently - it is enough to mix joiner and even acquired lacquer with small wood sawdust. After putty (you can not particularly ram, the main thing is to ensure the maximum density) it is necessary to wait for a complete drying of the repair composition.
  • Perhaps the wound floor was processed by protective wax. If traces of such processing remain, you will have to wash the surface or special toolOr White Spirit.
  • If floors made of coniferous rocks Woods (for example, spruce or pine), and are distinguished by pronounced resinity, we need to process with a rag, abundantly moistened with gasoline - it dissolves well.

When all these actions are done, you can move to stripping and grinding the floor surface.

Grinding floor before applying varnish

The grinding of the wooden floor in front of its lacquer to neglected in no case. At the very best slander The surface simply will not look beautiful neat. WorseIf the lacquer applied to the unwanted surface will begin to be peeling - and this is quite possible, since the surface layer of the tree can have many contaminants that otherwise than grinding, not delete.

  • So, the main tasks of this stage - to remove upper layer Together with pollution, faded wood texture, "get" to clean wood with its natural pattern, ideally align the surface so that the lacquer is easy to disperse, without lingering on a rough or dust surface.
  • For grinding (not to be confused with cyclical) Apply tape, disc (orbital, eccentric) Grinding machines.

Can be used by I.vibration but performance indicatorsshe is lower.

For processing hard-to-reach places, such as deaf angles,have to Work and manually.

  • The primary stripper is carried out by emery with grainy of about 60 ÷ 80 units. This will help remove the dirt and possible remnants of old coatings.
  • After primary cleaning, it is necessary to remove all sawdust and spend the surface - this is done after each stage of grinding, so that all possible shortcomings are visually noticeable.
  • Entry paper is changed by less grainy (120 - 180) and conduct secondary cleaning. Wood must fully acquire its characteristic color and texture. The floor becomes smooth, without the slightest steps and pits. All sheplicated areas are equalized with the main coating.
  • After cleaning, it makes sense to apply an antiseptic impregnating composition on the surface. This is not a mandatory measure, but still it is better to protect the wooden floor from the possible appearance of colonies of microorganisms.
  • When the antiseptic composition is completely dry (about a day), the final grinding of the surface is carried out with the use of shallow emery paper with graininess up to 400.
  • The floor will be ready to apply paintworks after thorough cleaning, right up to the smallest dust (they can greatly spoil the look of the lacquered surface). It is clear that without a vacuum cleaner can not do, but besides this, you can also hold a light wet cleaning. As a rag, it is best to use Microfibra - it will never give any pile and dust.
  • In warm water, you can add a small amount of detergent. However, caution should be shown here - some types of wood, for example, oak or chestnut, can "inadequately react" to a soap solution. It is best to try on a small fragment of the surface on an inconspicuous section of the floor.
  • After wet cleaning The floor is cleaned with clean water, drying is wiped, and as it is complete drying, it will be possible to move to the following steps.

Primer and floor and lacquer layers

1. Work on application paint and varnish coatings It should be carried out, providing for the protection of the respiratory authorities (respirator) and leather (gloves, special clothing). Skinny attribute will be knee pads, and shoe covers better on shoes. At hand, it is necessary to have a clean cloth - it will be possible to quickly remove the detected dust on the wooden surface.

  • The optimal temperature of the floor and air surface indoors is from 10 to 25 ºС. The room should be ventilated, but at the same time it is impossible to create a pronounced draft.
  • It is necessary to think about the work scheme in advance - so to leave the way out of the placement. If the lamb will be covered with a wooden inter-storey staircase, then better carry out work Phased, through one step.
  • Before applying primer and varnish should be a small experiment on an invisible area. floor - like wood reaches the used compositions.

2. So that the varnish is well and evenly, the floor surface is required to be preloaded.

  • Nitrolac may be suitable as a primer composition. However, it is quite possible to do with the lacquer, which is purchased for the finishing coating, but only diluteing it to about the basic solvent.
  • However, there may be certain nuances in this matter. So, some types of wood will require a special approach - it is worth learn about it in advance. For example, oak can darken from exposure polyurethane compositionsSo, it will take a special primer with barrier properties. Special technology is used for beech - so that water-soluble compositions do not violate the structure of the wood, the primer is needed, which will not cause gluing the adjacent flooring (lamellae).
  • There are wood species, chemical composition which will prevent the normal frozen of one or another varnish. To neutralize the action essential oilsAlso use a special primer of the cutting action specifically designed for these purposes.
  • The primer is applied with a wide tassel (about 100 mm) with a thickness of 10 to 50 mm, only along the fibers of wood. It is important to ensure that no part of the floor remains improtected.

When working with varnish, you must protect the respiratory authorities

  • Varnish can be applied with a brush (the same as during primer) or roller. When working brush, arcuate movements are performed, so that each passage intersects with the already applied varnish. Roller varnish is applied crucible - at first across the flooring is applied required amount Material, and then along - the uniform distribution of the surface. Each roller pass should overlap the already processed plot on its width.
  • Excessive use of varnish - not welcome, such a coating sometimes looks very ugly.
  • After applying the first layer, the floor leaves to dry. It is impossible to hurry here - each subsequent layer is applied solely by the infirmity of the dry surface.
  • In order for the lacquered floor of the floor to study really beautiful and homogeneous, each layer applied (except for the finish) must be subjected to additional grinding.

Do it should be manually sandpaper with grainy 220– 400, or use grinding equipment, but with great care. Such treatmentremove porousness, possible small ripples andt.P.

  • After each grinding, the surface is divened and slightly washed with clean water.
  • The amount of layers applied depends on the type of wood and on the specific type of room. It is usually limited to 3 layers, but sometimes even 5 ÷ 7 is required.
  • The main direction of movement with a brush with each subsequent application can be changed to perpendicular, but taking into account the fact that at the finish layer it should be from the main source of light (windows) to the output.
  • After completing the varnishing of the finish layer, the floor is dried to dry for a period specified by the producer of varnish. In this period, it is necessary to completely eliminate the likelihood of falling on the surface of dust or water.
  • If after the expiration date remains perception of light stickiness of the floor, this can be eliminated, the surfaces of the surface with a weak soap solution - for this purpose, ordinary kitchens are well suited for this purpose. detergents For dishes.

The effect of "stickiness" of fully dried gear can be eliminated with a light soap solution.

  • Full surface drying will be achieved in about a week. Now everything is ready - Paul Paul taught reliable protection, expected decorativeness and is fully prepared for full operation.

Natural wood floor is the advantage of any apartments. It is he who makes the interior with a cozy, stylish and rich. But, unfortunately, natural material is subject to the influence of surrounding factors. On the appearance and operational characteristics of wood can negatively reflect open sun rays, Change temperature mode, increase humidity indoors. To protect the wooden floor from rapid wear, repair and replacement, keep the primordial type of coating, it is necessary to take care of its protection. How and what to handle the wooden floor, read below.

The best way to protect the coating from rotting, abrasion, burnout, insects and drying is to cover it with a special composition. Today, the market for wood processing materials offers mixtures that can not only reliably protect wood from any destruction, but also emphasize its decorative qualities. The choice of composition depends on each specific case.

Separate compositions with secure for humans and domestic animals by biocides should be chosen to process floors inside the house.

When buying a wooden floor protection agent, carefully learn the label and composition.

Pay attention to the shelf life. If it is dozens of years, then, most likely, you have a substance for external work. Such means contain aggressive biocides that are dangerous to human health. Branded means are often placed on the label number of the hotline, which you can get answers to all the questions. Feel free to call, because it depends not only by the "life" of your wooden floor, then the health of all the inhabitants of the house.

Lucky for wooden floors: how and how to cover the floor

The most familiar tool to protect the tree is varnish. Outdoor varnishes not only protect the surface from moisture, dirt, insects and the sun, but also give her shine, emphasize the natural color of the wood.

There are several types of varnishes that have different characteristics:

  1. Water soluble varnishes. Such varnishes will quickly dry, do not have an unpleasant smell and are well connected with the base. Depending on the type of water-soluble varnish (single or two-phase), it can serve from 3 to 10 years without a re-coating of the floor.
  2. Alkyd. Such varnishes are ideal for "moving" floors, heated parquet floors, but they will dry for a long time. In addition, the technology of applying such varnishes has many nuances. The life of such varnishes is 2-3 years.
  3. Anhydrous polyurethane varnishes. These funds are high level wear resistance, resistant to chemicals and high humidity. It dries such a varnish faster than water-soluble. To cover the floor polyurethane varnish, Wood moisture should be no more than 8%. Otherwise, varnish can go bubbles. Serves such protective covering 2-3 years.
  4. Acid-curable varnishes. Such varnishes have the highest performance features: They guarantee a reliable coating that are not terrible chemical and mechanical damage, moisture. Apply such a varnish simply, it is not demanding to the tools. However, processing should pass in a ventilated room, and it follows in a respiratory mask.

Pine wooden floor oil: product features

Oil is a good option for coating a wooden floor: it will quickly dry and allows you to spend local repairs (In order to re-process the floor, it is not necessary to endure furniture, carry out grinding). In addition, the oil is an absolutely safe, ecological product (this is important for allergic and families with children). But, judging by the reviews of users, little has a lower operational characteristics, rather than a varnish.

Wooden floor, which was painted by Beatz, it is categorically forbidden to cover the oil: the oil does not form an insulating film and any coloring item will leave on the floor of the color imprint.

However, for some breeds, the oil is the only output. So, the flooring of a pine board with varnish can lead to the fact that after a short operation, the floor will go cracked: the solid varnish is poorly combined with soft wood and can easily damage hand board. Therefore, the oil is the perfect choice for the coating of the soft floor of the pine.

When coating the oil of pine floor, it should be remembered that due to the resin, which is contained in the wood, impregnation will dry longer than no other coniferous rocks.

Builders advise choosing to cover pine wood floors in the house butter with wax. Such a product penetrates well in the pores of the tree, making it stronger. In addition, oil with wax well emphasizes the texture of the wood: the floor after applying looks natural and attractive.

Wax to protect the floor: how to cover the wooden floor in the house

Wax is traditional way Wood protection from moisture. A modern wax for processing wooden floors is made of beeswax, inorganic additives and oils. The main advantage of wax is its availability and environmental friendliness. In addition, the wax is suitable for the coating of absolutely all wood breeds. It can be both color and colorless, glossy and matte. It makes it possible to restore original color Old wooden coating and emphasize the new floor.

In order to process the floor from a tree with wax you need:

  1. Clear coating. Old varnish is removed using a solvent or cycle. You can apply the tool over the oil.
  2. Sand and degrease the surface for better wood adhesion and wax. You can additionally process the surface of the soil on the wood, and stick the layer after drying.
  3. Apply wax using a tissue tampon with circular motions, as if rubbing it into the floor.
  4. Wait for the drying of the layer and, if necessary, cover the floor again.
  5. Polish the floor after drying the wax with a felt cloth.

The process of drying the wax can be accelerated by choosing a means with polymerization accelerators. You can add a sequiva to the finished wax mixture.

How to evenly cover the floor with oil (video)

Thanks to environmental friendliness and attractive appearance, wood is increasingly used to finish both internal and external premises. Save wood coating - This is the paramount task of anyone who was lucky enough to have home floor from parquet, boards, laminate. And if earlier the gender could only be painted, today specialized means can help protect the coating that are easily applied with their own hands. Choose the composition depending on your financial capabilities, such as wood and surrounding conditions and enjoy the beautiful wooden floor of not one dozen years!

Tree floors are very popular among developers due to a number of advantages. this material: Ecology, hypoallergenicity, attractive appearance, good thermal insulation indicators and properties to maintain indoors optimum humidity. In order for the design to serve as long as possible and looked as best as possible, it should be understood as a varnish to cover the wooden floor, because the compositions are much, and each of them has its own characteristics.

But not only the composition matters, it is important to prepare the basis and apply a protective layer in accordance with the technology, it is these issues that we will dedicate this review.

Types of compositions used for work

Immediately, we note that all products are divided according to that, on what basis it is made, varnish for wooden floors can be made on an organic and water basis. The first option is distinguished by the toxic smell during drying, but they allow you to create a very durable coatingwhich perfectly opposes abrasion and deformation influences. Water based products practically do not smell, their advantages are simplicity with their own hands and a democratic price.

The lacquer for the floor of the tree may differ in the view of the resin present in the composition, the following options can be distinguished:

Alkid formulations This type is distinguished by short term drying, they form a durable film, resistant to abrasion, which can withstand enough strong blows. The main minus can be considered low elasticity.
Acrylic solutions They are made exclusively on a water basis, so very environmentally friendly and easy to use, you will not need a complex lacquer preparation instruction. Of the advantages, it is possible to allocate normal elasticity and fluidity during a democratic value, from disadvantages - weak resistance to abrasion and deformation effects.
Epoxy varnish This is an acid-curable group of products that is used in places where the most important indicator is the strength of the coating. But it is necessary to work with this type of product in a special protective respirator, since toxins dangerous for human health are distinguished during drying. The drying process takes three days, during which it is not recommended in the room.
Oil compositions Made on the basis of organic oils and resins of natural origin. There are no artificial components in the composition, they are often used for primary surface treatment. After drying, a durable layer is formed, the color of which can be brown or yellowish - depending on the additives.
Alcohol options Made on the basis of alcohol and natural resins - Shellakov or Sandarakov. Due to the rapid process of evaporation of alcohol and low rates of dissolution of the resin on the floor, several layers can be applied after a short period of time. It turns out a robust film with a good glitter, its biggest minus is a weak resistance to water.
Polyurethane compositions To the question of which varnish is better to cover the wooden floor, most experts will answer that products based on polyurethane are most preferred. This option is distinguished by durability, excellent abrasion resistance, while the coating is elastic. The only minus is a high cost, especially if the polymer varnish for the tree (so it is also called) is made water based.
Urethane and urethane-alkyd solutions This option is a bit worse by properties than the above, but its cost is much less. Urethane varnishes form an elastic film that is not damaged during wood deformation and does not glue the ends, thus, without creating an excessive voltage. Adding alkyd resins allows you to increase resistance to abrasion.

Tip!
It is important that the acquisition of the lacquer meets all standards and requirements, so you will definitely ask the availability of a certificate of quality and hygienic ID on a specific product.
Only so you can be guaranteed to purchase a good coating for your wooden floor.

Criteria for selecting and preparing the surface

Consider what options for which rooms are suitable and how to properly prepare wood for staining so that the result is as long as possible and reliable.

How to choose the best option

First of all, it should be considered, in which room work will be carried out, it depends on how varnish to choose for wooden floor:

  • In living rooms, halls, halls, as well as on wooden stairs The main requirement for the coating is resistance to abrasionThat is why it is recommended to use compositions on organic solvents or a polyurethane group of products.

  • What varnish is better to cover the wooden floor in the bathroom and in the kitchen? Here, of course, the main criterion is resistance to moisture, it is best to use one of the following decisions: Urethane and alkyd-urethane compositions, as well as polymeric embodiments.

Today construction market Offer huge range Materials used to finish floors, most of them have an attractive appearance and excellent performance. In this article we will study in detail the materials that, in the manufacture of wooden floors, do not lose their popularity over the years - pine boards. We will also consider such an important moment as the processing of such surfaces, namely, we will explain why and what kind of floor lacquer comes from a pine board.

The main advantages of wooden floors

Wood to this day is used as an outdoor coating, in particular due to the fact that it has a lot of advantages over other types of coatings.

These include the following:

  • Natural parquet or boardwalk allows you to create an atmosphere of comfort and comfort in any residential room.
  • Externally wood looks very beautiful, attracts with its naturalness both in the photo and with visual inspection. In addition, complements any interior.
  • Many tree varieties are incredibly useful for human health.
  • During the operational features of this material, it is considered universal.
  • The cost of such a floor is quite low, but the most important thing is that it is possible to produce it partially.

Important! Wood can be processed paint and varnish materials and other compositions that improve its characteristics protect against negative influence various factors.

The main features of the floors of pine boards

Pine is the very unique variety of wood, which has indisputable qualities and virtues.

These moments can be attributed to the peculiarities of pinewood:

  • The woody array is incredibly durable, its density is one cubic meter It is 520 kg.
  • Among the builders, the pine wood is incredibly valued, mined from trees that have grown in particularly dry places that have the most reliable structure and durability.
  • Tint and texture of lumber from pine depend on which part of the trunk was used in the production process. That is, dark red colors are getting closer to the center, the outer layer has a light tone. Than a tree younger, the paler his color.
  • In comparison with beech and oak pine materials, it has a smaller level of hardness, which should certainly consider when laying floors. Maximum attention to pay the places where it will stand appliances or heavy furniture.

Important! High resinity is at the same time the advantage and disadvantage of pine boards, because the resin 0 is an additional layer that does not allow to penetrate the inside of the material, but, unfortunately, this component is able to stand out on the surface of the materials, due to this, the appearance of the floors is spoiled.

What are pine boards processed?

To increase the life of the useful exploitation of pine wood, preserve its presentability, specialists use all sorts of coatings for boards and impregnation. For example, a pine wooden floor lacquer is able to help change the color of the material, thereby harmoniously enter the floors in the overall interior of the dwelling. The same action has various impregnations on an oil or wax basis, but at the same time they are equally used for deep processing of boards.

What are oil impregnations?

Such formulations are used long ago, because their effectiveness is not once confirmed. They used them still in the old estates of the last century, and there, as you know, floors to our time are stored in perfect condition. Then no one even knew that such a varnish, but linen or hemp oil, the Olif was actively used.

Important! Additionally, the boards on top rubbed wax, which made it possible to protect them from loads for several years and not to care for any long time.

Pine floor oil when used, has several advantages:

  • The composition is more persistent in the case of use in premises with large temperature differences and poor heating.
