The level of popularity of such a flooring like parquet grows every day due to excellent operational characteristics and affordable cost. During the choice of the option of the parquet board, one of the key properties is its color. At the same time, it is important to consider that different wooden breeds are characterized by various unique colors that depend on natural resins contained in the material.

If you choose a coating such as piece parquet, it is important to consider the fact that over time this coating under the influence of light can slightly change its own coloring. Some wooden breeds are characterized by the property of burnout, while others get a darker and rich shade over time. Moreover, the most significant changes occur within several months after laying the coating.

How can it be minimized by changes in the color of the parquet

In order to reduce the change in the shade of parquet, special protection technologies are used. Types of a parquet board are divided on the basis of a criterion such as natural variability of the material. At the same time, the finished parquet is covered with specialized varnishes. Modern parquet varnish for the floor makes it possible to reduce the degree of change in wood color due to minimizing the effects of ultraviolet radiation. But, despite the tricks of technologists, it will not work to completely avoid changes in the shade. In the case of the movement of furniture or carpet, the difference in the color will be washed. That is why the first year after installing the flooring, the owners recommend constantly moving furniture items.

Depending on the wood breed from which the parquet is made, color changes can be different:

ash, birch, nut and beech parquets eventually become lighter;

Maple and oak coatings are darkened and acquire a deeper shade;

Cherry parquet darkens the most intensively.

To reduce the consequences of changing color over the coating, it is important to constantly and efficiently care. First of all, it is necessary:

protect the parquet board from excessive moisture;

eliminate the absorption of dirt into the varnish, and in the case of pollution the appearance of them, they must be quickly and thoroughly removed;

do not carry out wet cleaning or at least reduce their number;
