← Back to How to treat a parquet floor with resin?

Restoring old or weakened parquet flooring requires a resin that not only strengthens the wood but also enhances its longevity. Choosing the right product ensures your parquet remains beautiful and durable for years to come.
Why Choose a Penetrating Resin?
For parquet floors that show signs of age, such as weakened timber or minor gaps, a penetrating epoxy resin offers targeted reinforcement. Products like EpoxyWood are formulated with ultra-low viscosity, allowing the resin to soak deep into the wood’s pores. This process not only stabilises the timber structure but also provides crucial waterproofing, helping to protect your restoration work from moisture-related problems in the future.
How to Apply Resin to Restore Parquet
Proper surface preparation is essential. Begin by ensuring the parquet is completely dry and thoroughly sanded – this maximises adhesion and ensures a smooth finish. Once prepped, the penetrating resin can be applied using a brush or roller, allowing it ample time to seep into cracks and gaps. For added adhesion, especially if you plan to finish with a clear coat, consider starting with an appropriate primer such as Epoxyprimer.
Following these steps results in both rejuvenated appearance and improved stability.
When this Matters Most
- Restoring parquet in heritage or period properties where replacement is not an option
- Treating floors exposed to variable damp or minor water ingress
- Reinforcing timber before overlaying with a decorative finish
