12. REPAIRS AND RENOVATION

Alternative 2
When replacing Woodloc-elements the damaged floor board is clearly marked.
This prevents from damaging adjoining floor boards with the circular saw.
The floor board is cut V-angled towards the edges (1).
Next, the board is cut longitudinally down its centre. Since the circular saw
cannot cut right down to the edges, the last millimetres must be separated
using the chisel (2).
Split in this way, the board can be removed bit by bit (3-5). Afterwards the
subfloor has to be cleaned carefully; if not, uneven and non-flush areas can
appear. The cross- and longitudinal tongue of the spare floor board have to be
removed (6).
Apply PVAC glue to the adjoining strips’ tongues and to the spare board (7).
The new floor board can now be installed groove-first. The installed board
should be loaded with weight during the glue’s setting time (8).

12. Replacement of floating laid parquet with
tongue and groove
In principle, the replacement of floating laid parquets with tongue and groove
can be done the same way as with parquets with Woodloc-joints. Particular
attention must be paid to the adjoining floor board’s tongue because it will
work as a support to set the new board’s right height. The adjoining board’s
tongue must be carefully cleaned from the damaged board’s remains. Prior to
its installation the board’s bottom groove cheek and cross-tongue have to be
removed.
