One of the most requested floors in recent years is wood or, better known, as parquet, but what can you do if it lifts?<\/strong>Swollen parquet \u2013 Imilanesi.nanopress.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n Parquet is a <\/strong>wooden<\/strong> floor assembled using strips<\/strong> fitted together. The types of material<\/strong> range from simple pine<\/strong> to the more expensive teak, oak or olive wood<\/strong> . In recent years, many people<\/strong> have chosen to floor<\/strong> their homes with parquet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indeed, many of the houses<\/strong> under construction in recent periods already include parquet flooring<\/strong> in their specifications. A choice, moreover, which is back in fashion<\/strong> , but which was the norm in ancient times<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first wooden floors date back to 18th century France<\/strong> with King Louis XIV. However, there seems to be evidence that dates back as far as 3000 BC<\/strong> . The first real project, however, dates back to 1534<\/strong> commissioned by King <\/strong>Francis<\/strong> I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the difficulties in managing<\/strong> wooden flooring is that it could swell and lift<\/strong> if it is not cared for properly. If you happen to find some raised boards,<\/strong> the first thing to do is call a professional<\/strong> to help us fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it was installed with a floating installation<\/strong> then it may be that the intermediate layer<\/strong> called vapor barriers<\/strong> is missing . It is a barrier that serves to protect it<\/strong> from humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And this is one of the worst cases because the parquet must be completely dismantled<\/strong> . And therefore it must be repositioned with the vapor barrier<\/strong> . It could also be a manufacturing defect , but even in this case the intervention of a <\/strong>professional<\/strong> is necessary .<\/p>\n\n\n\nVapor barrier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
