Parquet floors wear out over time and require major or cosmetic repairs. The simplest and most affordable option- tint the coating. The procedure allows you to change the color of the floor, update the interior and restore the performance characteristics of the parquet.

What is parquet tinting?

Parquet tinting is giving the parquet board a natural wood color or updating the tone flooring while maintaining its structure. The technology allows you to give the floorboard the character of exotic, expensive wood species or obtain a vintage “aging” effect. With the help of tinting, you can update your old parquet floor and style it to match your interior design.

Tinting floorboards has a number of significant advantages:

• You can treat both floorboards and parquet;
• is improving appearance old coating;
• tinting masks minor defects in worn parquet;
• allows you to give the room an updated, attractive appearance without performing overhaul premises;
• a wide palette of colors allowing you to choose the desired shade.

Choosing a color for parquet: modern trends

Modern wood coloring technologies can bring to life the most different colors and shades. Coatings manufacturing companies have developed affordable complexes for wood processing.

Advice. Samples of painted parquet are usually presented in construction stores. When making a choice, you need to have an image of the interior with you in order to compare it with the tone of the floor and recreate a complete picture of the situation.

Traditional tinting colors include: shades of gold, dark brown, dark red and amber. More daring options: white, blue, black or rich bright colors.

White color. This coating is always in trend because it can be easily combined with different stylistic directions in the interior. The white floor visually increases the space; dust and small scratches are not very visible on its surface. Before tinting the parquet in White color, it must be carefully prepared and the previous layer of paintwork must be removed.

Dark colors. You need to choose dark colors with caution - they will not suit every room. It is optimal if the shaded floor is combined with light walls. Toning oak parquet in dark color helps hide all defects of the old flooring. Black and chocolate tones are used when decorating rooms in modern style directions: constructivism, minimalism or Scandinavian.

Grey or beige color parquet flooring will fill the room with comfort and an atmosphere of tranquility. Such shades look harmonious in Provence, country, Mediterranean or neoclassical style interiors. Often pastel shades chosen when arranging bedrooms and children's rooms.

Red shades make the room “warmer” and more comfortable. They are recommended for use in living rooms classic style. However, such parquet requires extreme caution in choosing the color of furniture and other surfaces. Red shades are very whimsical as companion flowers.

Brown color considered universal for floor decoration. The shade emphasizes the naturalness of the flooring and the structure of the wood. Brown tones are perceived by humans as a symbol of protection and shelter from adversity.

Important! To tint the floor, you must use formulations from trusted companies. The use of mixtures of unknown brands can ruin the coating, and the parquet will have to be completely torn off.

What is the best way to tint parquet: features of different technologies

There are several ways to change the shade of parquet flooring. For work, stain, oil, varnish or specially developed coloring complexes are most often used. The choice of one material or another depends on the desired result and the availability of painting skills. Each method has its pros and cons in terms of application and operation of the floor covering.

Parquet tinting with varnish

The use of varnishes with a tinting component allows you to change the color of the parquet a couple of tones lighter or darker. A ready-made “colored varnish” or a colorless composition with a selected color scheme is suitable for the job.

Opening parquet with varnish has the following advantages:

• the material does not penetrate the structure of the wood - if it is necessary to change the color, it is enough to clean off the top layer and repaint the parquet;
• except decorative function the varnish also plays a protective role, preventing damage to the parquet slats;
• the ability to control the saturation of the resulting color by the number of layers of varnish.

The disadvantages of “varnish” tinting include:

• The varnish layer wears off quite quickly in the most trafficked places;
• tinting allows you to achieve only weakly and medium-saturated tones - they cannot be used to transform light wood into black;
• The varnish is not resistant to prolonged loads - the coating may begin to crack and peel.

Important! When applying varnish, you must adhere to fire and personal safety standards.

Using oil for parquet treatment

Oil is widely used to tint many wood products, including parquet. The choice of material depends on the type of wood. To process “exotic” wood, you need to choose an oil deep penetration to speed up the drying process.

Benefits of oil tinting:

• provided reliable protection flooring due to the penetration of oil deep into the material;
• the ability of parquet to “breathe” - a film does not form on the surface, as after treating the floor with varnish;
• coating stability - does not peel off or crack;
• wide range of choice of different colors;
• safety and environmental friendliness of the material.

Disadvantages of oil:

• after the initial tinting with oil, you cannot subsequently use another type of paintwork - the oil solution penetrates deeply into the pores and cannot be completely removed;
• Every six months, parquet requires updating - polishing the coating with a soft cloth made from natural fabrics soaked in a special composition.

Advice. Highly stable oils are suitable for tinting parquet boards. Well-proven materials: Arboritec Floor Oil Strong, Classic Base Oil Color and Arboritec Floor Oil Strong.

Oil impregnation is applied to the floor with a brush or brush, and then rubbed in with a sander. After the first layer has completely dried, the surface is treated with the second and third layers.

Features of using stain

The stain completely preserves and conveys the grain of the wood. With the help of stain, you can achieve color saturation, but the material will not protect the floor covering.

Features of applying stain:

1. Duration of work. The composition is applied three times. The first and second layers should dry for at least 3 days, and the last one - a week. The floor is then covered with a layer of clear varnish.
2. Due to the heterogeneity of the wood structure, the stain may be absorbed unevenly. As a result, dark or light spots form on the parquet.
3. To achieve uniform coloring, the next layer is applied perpendicular to the previous one.

Coloring systems for tinting parquet

Manufacturers of paints and varnishes do not give up attempts to create the ideal composition for tinting parquet. The main contender today are special coloring systems based on natural oils. Tinting systems differ from conventional stains in that they are absorbed more slowly and take longer to dry. At first glance, this quality may seem like a minus, but it is not so.

After applying a regular stain, a few minutes remain to distribute the composition evenly on the floor surface. Not everyone can do this quickly and have to forget about a good result. Coloring complexes dry within 4-20 hours. This time is enough to uniformly process even a large area of ​​parquet.

Before starting tinting, you need to test the composition on a separate parquet board, since the final result is largely determined by the texture, original color and quality of wood processing.

The main mistakes in tinting parquet boards

Even if you entrust parquet scraping with tinting experienced craftsmen You can't always count on a perfect result. The main mistakes of amateurs and professionals are:

Important! Pine is a rather difficult wood to process due to the softness of its structure. Minor failures during sanding will lead to the appearance of “stains” and stripes on the parquet. The probability of defects when sanding larch and oak is much less.

How to tint parquet with your own hands: step-by-step instructions

The final result of the work will largely depend on careful preparation surfaces, namely scraping. The need to perform this stage is due to a number of factors:

• the presence of scratches and local dents on the parquet;
• changing the integrity of the old varnish layer;
• the appearance of the “boat effect”;
• contamination of the old coating.

Cycling is carried out in two stages:

1. Surface treatment with a scraping machine or parquet sanding machine with a coarse abrasive. As a result, the top layer of varnish is removed, dirt is removed and the coating is leveled.
2. Finish grinding with a fine abrasive wheel.

Upon completion of the work, the floor must be cleaned and checked to ensure that it is perfectly smooth. Next you can start painting.

Let's take a step-by-step look at how to tint parquet with stain:

Tinting compounds must be applied quickly to prevent staining. The subfloor must be thoroughly cleaned before painting, as the smallest particles of dust, water, dirt, grease, wax and other things can spoil the result.

1. Parquet tinting - final stage repair work. After painting the floor, you should not finish the ceiling, walls, etc.
2. The tinting composition must be used from professional manufacturers parquet chemicals, for example, Osmo, Loba, Bona, etc.
3. It is very difficult to do high-quality sanding to tint old boards with your own hands. This process is best left to professionals.
4. The final result largely depends on the type of wood. A favorable outcome is 99% guaranteed when tinting oak. For “complex” wood (maple, pine, beech), experts use the “forced floor tinting” method.
5. For uniform distribution and rubbing of the composition, it is necessary to use special parquet machines.
6. The final coating is done with a highly wear-resistant varnish.

It is advisable to choose a method for tinting a parquet floor after recommendations from a specialist who will take into account the type of wood and the conditions for subsequent use of the floor covering.

The process consists of the following steps:

• preparing the surface of the floor covering - the uniformity and depth of painting depends on the quality of this step;
• color selection - ready product may differ slightly from what is presented in the catalog, and correcting the situation will be quite difficult, so the experience of a specialist is required;
• applying a tinting composition, varnish or oil, followed by fixing them - at this point it is important that all components are compatible, otherwise various defects in the tinted wood are likely to appear.

Surface preparation

In order to begin the tinting process, it is necessary to carry out a set of necessary measures:

• if an old floor is being restored, it is necessary to remove the layer of previous varnish or oil by sanding;
• the surface of the wooden flooring should be thoroughly sanded;
• Be sure to carry out high-quality cleaning, including wet cleaning. You can begin tinting the boards after the wood has completely dried.

Color selection and trial paints

An important step is the selection of colors. It should be understood that the depth of color and shade when tinting wood creates a certain effect in the room:

• dark colors will add a touch of elegance to the interior;
• white – looks stylish and neat;
• brown – creates a cozy atmosphere;
• red shades - will add harmony and warmth;
• gray - will add a touch of serenity.

Only you can determine the style of your future interior. The specialist’s task is to accurately turn the dream into reality. In order for the resulting color to correspond to the accepted concept, before applying the tint to the parquet board over the entire surface of the floor covering, it is necessary to carry out test colors that will allow you to see the real shade, depending on the type of wood, the quality of the board and the coloring composition. In case of discrepancy, you will have the opportunity to adjust the tone.

Application of tinting composition

The complexity of the process of tinting parquet with colored varnish or oil lies in the uniform application of the composition over the entire area without stains. Fast drying requires special qualifications of the craftsman. At least a double layer of the tinting composition is applied to the cleaned, prepared surface. It is necessary to observe the direction of painting movement - it is done along the wood texture. Each layer is applied only after the previous one has completely dried, with the obligatory rubbing of the composition. Once the desired color has been achieved, they proceed to fixing it with varnish or oil.

There are several ways to stain wood floors. Most often used:

• tinting wooden floors with oil, which gives them a natural, elegant look, protects the wood from moisture and other external influences. The basic rule when working with such compositions is to apply thin layer oils;
• A bright palette of varnishes of various colors allows you to carry out renovations in the Art Nouveau style. In addition, the varnish does not penetrate deeply into the wood, which makes it easier to
• radical changes to the interior.

An obvious advantage of tinting a wooden floor with varnish, in addition to the ability to change the color of the floor covering, is the increase in the service life of the parquet. Intensity color range depends on the number of layers applied. It must be remembered that varnish tends to wear off gradually. It is impossible to carry out local restoration; if abrasions appear, you will have to completely open the coating on the entire floor plane. In order to keep the finished varnish product in good condition longer, the protective coating on the surface must be periodically renewed.

Oil

The number of layers of decorative oil depends on the characteristics of the wood; the same factor affects the depth of penetration of the coloring composition. The importance of this note lies in the fact that it is almost impossible to change the color of a floor covering that has deeply absorbed the shade. On the other hand, there is undeniable advantage oil painting. It lies in the fact that if a pinpoint damage occurs, it can be restored without affecting the entire floor area. In addition, there are natural compositions that make it possible to produce high-quality and at the same time environmentally friendly tinting of parquet floors with oil, which is important for children and allergy sufferers.

When the time comes to repair the parquet, many people want to change the original color of the wood, because they are simply tired of the old one. Parquet tinting can be great solution such a problem. In some cases, this type of repair is used to achieve the desired decorative effect, involving expensive types of wood or fantastic colors that do not exist in nature.

The good thing about parquet is that without changing the coating, you can change its color if necessary.

Before you begin tinting your parquet, you must carefully prepare the surface. To do this, it is necessary that the new parquet, which does not have a varnish or wax coating, be laid according to the technology and all deadlines for its fixation are met (in the case of using glue). After this, if the surface is processed efficiently, you can begin work, and if not, then you will need to perform grinding.

If the old parquet should change shade after repair, then it will be necessary to remove the varnish or wax coating surfaces. Removal is usually done by scraping. It is performed using special machines. This removes not only the varnish, but also top part wood irregularities that have arisen during use.

After sanding the parquet, the surface is then sanded to achieve the greatest decorative effect. For getting ideal surface grinding is carried out in several stages. After completing the above operations, you need to clean the parquet as thoroughly as possible from dust and other waste and immediately begin tinting.

Types and technology of parquet tinting

There are three main methods for changing the color of parquet:

• oil tinting;
• using stain;
• tinting using varnishes.

When choosing any method, it is necessary to carry out the entire range of preparatory measures, otherwise defects may appear and the decorative qualities may be impaired.

Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, which can significantly affect performance, so you should carefully read them before repairing.

The most important thing is that the floor will look and feel like new after tinting.

Features of parquet tinting with oil

Oil tinting will not only give the parquet the desired shades, but will also strengthen the structure of the wood, protect it from moisture, which will significantly extend its service life. Another advantage of tinting with oil is the ability to freely allow air and moisture to pass through. When choosing this method, you should take into account that there are a number of significant disadvantages:

• oil tinting eliminates the future use of varnishes;
• a surface treated with oil becomes dirty very quickly;
• low service life (usually 3-4 years), which will require repeated restoration work;
• the oil can be used to tint the floors of unheated rooms;
• It will take a long time for the surface to completely dry before applying the topcoat.

Regardless of the chosen composition, tinting occurs according to the same principle

Depending on the type of oil used to give the parquet the desired shade, it may be necessary additional processing surfaces. There are tinting oils that do not require the application of additional layers of wax, since they contain it in their composition.

Oils used to change the color of flooring can come in a wide variety of colors and shades, allowing you to transform any type of wood into an exotic one.

Varnish tinting of parquet

A layer of paint varnish of the desired color is applied to the prepared surface. If the result is not achieved, you can apply another one, but you should not forget about the importance protective coating. The surface layer of varnish must be colorless and processed (sanded) to achieve the full effect.

It is the top layer that will protect the underlying layers of tinting from mechanical influences. In addition, if you need to change the color of the tint during the next repair, you can simply scrape it.

Before applying any of the three tinting options, you need to study the features of each and the application technology

Tinting using stain

This method cannot be used on surfaces that have been treated with oil prior to repair. The stain should be applied to the parquet in several layers until the desired effect is achieved. Due to heterogeneity, the wood texture will be unevenly colored, which will highlight denser layers and weaken the shades of less dense ones.

After the surface has completely dried, you will need to apply a colorless varnish, which will protect the wood from damage.

How to change the color of parquet?

The color of the parquet can be changed using tinting. Parquet tinting (parquet painting) is giving parquet or parquet boards the desired color or shade. Parquet tinting allows you to implement any of your suggestions. color solutions, giving individual style your gender.

Simple ways to tint parquet floors

In order to make the parquet darker, we use a primer with an “ignition” effect, for example Lobadur HS Prima Seal. If the parquet needs to add an amber tint (yellow), then we use Lobadur WS Hybrid AT varnish. If for some reason you are not satisfied with this varnish, then you can order a special additive to impart yellowness, suitable for any water-based parquet varnish from LOBA. When using these materials, you do not pay a premium for parquet tinting.

"Bona create" - stain-free parquet tinting

“Bona Create” is a modern, new generation product designed for tinting parquet floors. Slow drying is the main advantage of this composition, which allows it to be evenly distributed without streaks or stains! "Bona Create" is indispensable when tinting parquet floors large areas. Available in 9 color options. Compatible with parquet varnishes water based. All colors can be mixed with each other, which gives almost unlimited possibilities in choosing the color of parquet tinting.

Lobadur parquet tinting systems

Tinting systems are presented in ten colors and are implemented in three products:

• Lobasol HS 2K ImpactOil Color 2-component oil
• Lobasol Markant Color - combination of oil and wax
• Lobadur ProColor - solvent based colorant

Colored oil

Colored oil is based on natural raw materials and is a combination of oil and wax. It is the most environmentally friendly product for tinting parquet. Parquet board under oil, becomes wear-resistant and acquires water-resistant and dirt-repellent properties. All colors can be mixed with each other, which gives almost unlimited possibilities in choosing the color of parquet tinting. Having decided to cover the parquet with oil, you must keep in mind that replacing it with varnish in the future will be largely impossible.

Lobadur ProColor - professional composition for painting/staining parquet and solid board followed by coating with water-based varnishes. All colors of the colorant can be mixed with each other; to obtain a lighter shade, use Lobadur ProColor colorless. Recommended for tinting large-porous hardwood wood (oak, ash). When applying tinting to finely porous colored and conifers Grinding marks may appear clearly on the surface, causing the surface to appear unevenly colored.

Painting parquet with colored varnish

Colored varnish can be obtained by mixing it with a certain color. The color saturation directly depends on the number of layers of colored varnish applied. The more layers, the more intense the color. The advantage of using colored varnish is that the dyes do not penetrate the wood structure, and you can renew the parquet at any time. During parquet sanding, the coloring substances are removed along with the varnish, and your floor is ready for the next design experiments. In order not to resort to re-skinning the parquet, it is necessary to prevent abrasion of the colored varnish layer. To do this, you need to periodically update varnish coating, applying from above clear varnish. It should be noted that a disadvantage of colored varnishes is the unevenness of the coating at the joints of the varnish strips.
