If you have the opportunity, the floor in the house is better to make wooden. Natural wood floors are very warm and can independently adjust the humidity indoors. So that the tree serve for a long time, it is necessary or painted, or to cover with varnish. It is better to stop in the second version, because such floors look great - the natural structure of the tree is visible in them.
In rooms with a large humidity (bath, sausel, bath) uses urethane, uretanovo-alkyd or polyurethane varnishes.
In rooms where high permeability (living room, hall) is observed, it is better to use acid-curable, organo or water-soluble varnishes that are manufactured based on polyurethane resins. It is desirable that Laca has the "anti-slip" designation.
The floors in the children's room, the bedroom or the office are better covered with special varnishes that have the designation "EN 71.3", which means the shortest period of toxins.

If the floor in the house is still new, then it does not require special preliminary preparation. Just only pre-grinding and primer. Old wooden floor must prepare more carefully:
Rock the former lacquer with a special wash. If the floors were covered with wax - use White Spirit.
Small gaps or chips close the wood with a putty.
Floors made of coniferous wood trees with pure gasoline to remove resin drips.

For both new and old wooden floors, they need preliminary grinding. It is done with a ribbon grinding machine. First, a circle of coarse emery paper is put on the machine, then it replaces the range, and at the end - on fine-grained. Corners and places along the plinths are handled manually or using a special machine for corners and ends.

After grinding, the floors must be treated with an antiseptic for wood so that in the future it does not start rot and decompose. When an antiseptic dry (approximately a day), the floors need to be pressed and wipe with a damp cloth.

After the antiseptic treated and the washed floor dry dries, the primer layer is applied. As a primer, the main varnish is divided by a suitable solvent in proportion 1/3. Soil apply along a tree pattern and use for this medium sized brush (width - 10 cm, thickness - 5 cm). The primer layer must completely dry - the time will be indicated on the bank with varnish. The main flooring of the lacques must be made at a room in the room at least 12 and not more than 25 degrees. Conducting the floor with varnish is recommended by a wide tassel with lacquer marking. Such brushes are very soft and they do not rapt the pile. It is necessary to lacquer along the fibers of the tree and be sure to follow so that there are no non-procrase areas.

After a complete drying of the first layer, all the resulting irregularities or the resulting and frozen dust must be manually removed using the small emery paper. Next, the floor should be pressed again, wipe with a damp cloth and give dry.

The second and subsequent layers are applied in the same way as the first. You need to dry, it is necessary to such a time that is indicated on the bank with the selected varnish. You can grind all the layers except the latest, usually the third one.
Conduct the floors of lacquer when closed windows and doors so that dust does not fall into the room. Also, do not forget that the varnish is worth starting from the window, gradually moving towards the door.
