Parkay Flooring Restoring
Parkay flooring is a beautiful style of floor. It is completely unique as it is made out of solid wood. Parkay flooring is generally made in a puzzle or mosaic style, by fitting together different types of wood, or woods with different grains and shades. Parkay, however, is also a very expensive type of flooring but it does last a long time particularly if you take very good care of it. If something does go wrong with your parkay floor, it may be possible to repair it yourself, but it is generally a better idea to ask for help from professionals.
The Importance of Hiring Professionals for Parkay Flooring Restoring
Many people see themselves as DIY experts because they have been able to fit a shelf on the wall and regularly watch DIY programmes on television. However, parkay flooring restoring is a real skill. Many people prefer to remove damaged blocks of wood and replace them with new ones, but this is a lengthy and difficult process, as you will need to check your entire floor as well as having to resand and apply a new layer of veneer. The main benefits of looking for professionals if your parkay floor needs to be restored are:
- They have the right tools, machinery and equipment
- They are properly trained
- They may be able to retain your floor
- If they do need to lift some of the blocks of wood, they are more likely to be able to find or manufacture a matching replacement piece
Problems with DIY Parkay Flooring Restoring
It is a known fact that parkay flooring repairs that have been done on a DIY basis have a much shorter life span as those that have been repaired by professionals. This means that the cost of using a professional over all is actually cheaper, as you will have to replace and repair parts of your floor on a regular basis by doing it yourself.
Furthermore, there are intricacies involved in parkay flooring – particularly in completing the finish. If only a part of your floor has been damaged, a repaired area may be very visible unless you completely redo your entire floor. Using a professional, however, means that they will be able to blend the finish perfectly with your existing floor. In addition, if they do feel it is necessary to redo the entire floor, they will be able to do this in such a way that causes the least amount of damage to your floor itself.
Dangers with Parkay Flooring Restoring
The materials involved in placing and finishing the floor (adhesive and finishes) contain a number of harmful chemicals that you may not be comfortable with. This is another reason to hire professional installers as they will be fully trained in the use of these chemicals, as well as being able to give you advice on how long you will need to air the room and stay off the floor.
As you can see, undertaking parkay flooring repairs is best left to the professionals. Do make sure, however, that you request at least three no obligation quotations to make sure you are getting the best deal before you opt for a specific company.
