This parquet blade that creaks at the slightest step … a real ordeal! To silence it, start by identifying the one that cracks, then apply our tips and solutions. All, without needing to replace your parquet.
Does your parquet grine with each step on a precise blade and does that annoy you? No problem: needless to cover the floor or replace it. There are simple tips to repair it. However, be careful not to use expansive foam, which may damage the parquet floor.
The paraffin you use to close your jars with jams, finds another use here.
- Melt it with precaution in a double boiler.
- Pour this liquid properly into the interstices of your parquet.
- Leave to dry an hour before remarking on your floor.
Paraffin will create a sort of soundproofing buffer between the blades. If you don’t have paraffin on hand, opt for the candle. Its previously melted wax will have the same effect.
Another solution to prevent a parquet from grinking, penetrate the talc between the blades with a flexible brush, then jump on your parquet so that the talc enters the joints. The objective: to create a flexible binder between the creaky parts. A word of advice all the same: you will have to swap your vacuum cleaner for a broom during your cleaning, at the risk of seeing all your efforts go in … the vacuum cleaner!
If your parquet creaks, it may be that wood is too dry! So use linseed oil to feed it by insisting on the joints of slats that make noise.
Cover the parquet to prevent it from creaking
Are the extra tips not working? Another option to prevent your parquet from grinking: cover it using a carpet. This very decorative tip will allow you to isolate the sound of the floor easily. It will be an ideal solution for tenants or when the prosecution creakes on a large area.
If you’ve tried everything and nothing works, all you have to do is recounted your parquet floor by spacing the blades that rub between them. Our last tip: the next time you put parquet, put newspapers between the floor and the parquet floor, you will no longer have the problem of the blade that creates.
