In an explanatory dictionary, the word "toning" has several values: to cut, make a brighter, giving the desired tone, or make a decorative finish for the purpose of simulation. We will talk about the article about the peculiarities of such treatment of floors made of natural wood.
Often, life makes adjustments in, it would seem, thought out to the smallest detail project of the apartment, and the real cost of repairs are much higher than planned. Apoto is a solid and durable floor from dark brown wood, wenge or defiantly purple Amaranth and remains an unrealized dream. Other than revolutionary thought is born: why not take a high-quality oak parquet and not turn it into the exotic tree of the tree with the help of tinting compositions?
The desire to change the color of the parquet or massive board may occur in other cases. For example, there are breeds, beautiful in texture, but "boring" color. Of course, this concerns homogeneous sorting slats "Select". A light reddish or brown tint exhibits, emphasizes the pattern of wood fibers of maple, birch, ash, reviving the floor surface.
Traditional yellow-brown oak parquet has already fed up to Russians. Now, smoky or artificially sea oak, darker than the usual began to use in high demand. When creating modern interiors, designers often choose a very original bleached or, on the contrary, black oak.
The tinting of the floor may be needed to achieve an optimal combination with furniture, doors, window frames and other wooden interior elements. Although there are cases when a person simply wants to see in her pink, green, red or blue floor, while maintaining the natural texture of wood, its drawing. Why not? The only question is how to make a conceived.
Starve but not worry
So, one of the traditional methods are tinted by the use of morolos, that is, liquids for the impregnation of wood. In this case, polished and purified from dust surface of the floor is covered with a coloring agent, which gives it another shade, at the same time leaving the visible texture of the tree. Then several layers of varnish are applied to the floor.
In a word, the tinting of the floor by the Morilka should be trusted only by professionals.
Tinging oil
Color oil is applied to the surface with a thin layer with a brush, a scraper apple or a special brush. Then rub into wood by a single-scale machine equipped with a polishing circle. Excess the product is removed. To give the floor more rich color, after drying the oil (after 4-12h), the described procedure is repeated. The number of layers depends on the absorbency of wood. KRYMERA, deciduous rocks absorb more oil than coniferous and exotic. At the end of the work, the tree should be saturated with oil, but in no case is not oversaturated.
VcRidorah or living rooms, where the load on the floor is quite large, one or two layers of colorless are applied to the colored oil. If in the process of operation, the wooden surface will be damaged or starts to be blighted, these areas can be cleaned and treated with apparatus oil. The border between old and new coatings will be allocated for some time, but he will gradually smooth.
It is notable to remind: oil impregnations deeply penetrate into the tree, and they are difficult to completely remove from the floor surface. Therefore, the solution to the use of oil is very responsible and means that you are willing to abandon the use of varnish on this particular floor forever.
Colored varnishes
To obtain new shades of the wooden floor surface, colored varnishes are designed, ready or applied to your taste. They are easy to "turn" a light oak parquet in a slightly pinkish pear or a brownish nut. Along with natural colors, it is quite realistic to use a radical palette of yellow, blue or green paints. Apota of several years is easy to change the color of the floor to another. Moreover, when using varnish, the final result depends on the absorbent properties of the wood is significantly less than when using oils.To avoid the formation of visible joints and prevent lacquer drying in the process of work, it should be applied to the surface in a sufficiently liquid consistency. If you wish to obtain a more intense shade, the floor is coated with several layers of a slightly tinted varnish and the final colorless layer, which gives decorative coating additional wear resistance.
Over time, the lacquer begins to wear. But if a decrease in the layer of transparent varnish occurs unnoticed, then light paths appear on a tinted floor, especially in the corridors, light paths appear near the bathroom, toilet and kitchen. Touch them and recreate a uniformly tinted surface without the help of qualified masters is difficult.
The beauty of the floor is influenced by the conscientiousness of the owners. Drawing homeowners monitor its condition and periodically update the lacquer coating, without allowing the protective layer to get into full and maintaining the original color of wood. After all, it is much easier to restore the shabby varnish and cheaper than to carry out deep treatment of the floor, including the grinding of a wooden surface.
Rainbow know-how
Probably, all of the above difficulties led to the development and emergence of new products for tinting gender. The books include professional staining systems, most often based on natural oils. Valid dreams from ordinary versions that instantly absorb and dry out, these compositions do not solidize and allow you to work with them as much as you need to get a high-quality and beautiful surface. They are applied to ground, purified from fat, wax, dust and other possible pollution floors. Some time is waiting until the composition is absorbed, and then rubbed into the surface of the flat-grinding machine with a polishing circle for uniform distribution. Excess composition is removed and leave the floor to dry. Depending on the means it takes from 4 to 26.
Professional coloring systems allow working on large areas and be confident in the final result. The main thing is that high wear resistance varnishes are well falling on these toning formulations, which create a solid protective film on the surface.

General recommendations
The process of tinting the floor is advisable to conduct after the completion of all repair and finishing works, with the exception of the most delicate (such as covers of the walls of silk wallpaper). In the opposite case, the wooden surface can be scratched, spoil chemical compositions, stain. Avota preliminary preparation of the foundation for the finishing coating, which is usually accompanied by "dirty" processes, to fully implement in advance.Before starting work on toning, they necessarily have a sample on a sample from the same wood, with a similar level of processing or on a plot that will be hidden by furniture. The fact is that the color of the floor covering depends on the original color and the structure of the wood, as well as the quality of the grinding of its surface. It is hardly worth counting on a high-quality and aesthetically attractive result, trusting the tinting of the floor by random people. There are no cases when, due to the illiterate use of Morilok, the "colorful" layer has to be condicted. Do not speak the technology of working with professional staining systems "Masters" leave on the floor overlooking the toning composition, after which the protective layer of varnish does not fall on the surface.
However, there is a variant at which the end result does not depend on the skills and well-being workers. Pay attention to the floor coverings toned in the factory.
Bath for Parnet.
The floor of an oak, clarified with the help of a mounted varnish, makes a room visually more spacious than actually changing the natural color of a piece parquet, a massive and parquet board in the production process can be achieved in different ways. The duke rocks of the tree apply thermotonia. For example, the blanks of a light gold bamboo, a certain time at high temperature, acquire a coffee tint. Avot artificially sealed or smoky oaks are obtained by thermochemical treatment in special autoclaves, under the action of temperature, pressure and ammonia.
Another method is called steaming. About two days of billets are kept in chambers at a temperature of more than 100 ° C and 100% humidity. After such a "parley", the walnut color becomes uniformly dark, with barely cracked tint, and the bright beech turns into beige-pink.
Details of the technology processing technology are kept secret. But the potential buyer knows them is not so necessary. It is important that the protective layer of varnish is applied to a tinted tree in special factory conditions and it is cured, as a rule, due to ultraviolet irradiation. Vitoga It turns out an exceptionally homogeneous and wear-resistant coating, which cannot be created in the home atmosphere.
Slipping, which have its own production of flooring from wood or are dealers of large firms, you can choose the tree of the tree and the hue, to make an order for manufacture, and after a while you get a tinted product.
However, this option has its own minuses. First, the choice of shades of wood is limited to the most popular from the point of view of manufacturers. Secondly, minor unevenness of the floor, which are eliminated by subsequent grinding, in this case, it is not always possible to level.
Obviously, a combination of various colors and shades makes the interior in unique. Auzho acquire the flooring, which has passed the processing in the factory conditions, or tinted with colored veneers, oils or varnishes each of us solves itself. The main thing is that there is a choice and allows you to create a durable floor that meets your taste.
