Bravo to all these amazing creative minds. I hate wasting stuff that still has life in it. By the way, though I have read that some pallets are treated with a fumigant which is toxic. Generally, make sure pallets are stamped with “HT”, which means they haven’t been exposed to chemicals (at least not in the treating process.) Avoid unmarked pallets or those with “MB” for methyl bromide.

Hi Anton and Dr Retro thanks for the comments. Anton that is really great advice, you've exceeded the explanation on the seller's websites and also you've provided a deeper understanding of the materials. What you say makes perfect sense, and it sounds like you have much experience with these tiles. I like the idea of applying wax over a sealer, this makes sense to me. Anton, would it just be a standard floorwax, such as this one for example (based on beeswax). And once you've applied wax over the sealer, then do you keep applying beeswax, or do you then reapply a sealer? https://www.ebay.com.au/i/292592220249?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-139619-5960-0&mkcid=2&itemid=292592220249&targetid=480462538786&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9071957&poi=&campaignid=1490767175&mkgroupid=63057291572&rlsatarget=pla-480462538786&abcId=1139416&merchantid=119185944&gclid=CjwKCAjw1rnqBRAAEiwAr29II20USj1b2llPlQ4eqngD-Paf9nrbms5ILxdyKEGnKhVKAErlLGCE0BoCSKYQAvD_BwE

We invite you to read our recommendations to leave your parquet floor impeccable. Parquet Floor Types glued parquet The term “glued” is assigned thanks to its way of installation, as it translates as fixed or adhered to the base; I did this before polishing and after varnishing the wood. This type of parquet floor has a top layer of resistant wood such as oak, which guarantees its durability. Floating parquet or flooring This installation technique has become increasingly popular among households because of the speed and economic effect of its execution. Floating parquet, as its name implies, is not attached to the floor, and therefore, an insulating sheet and polyethylene foam must be placed between the floor and the parquet in order to ease the irregularities of the floor and the pieces of wood that are joined. We properly applied each other's staples or screws. Industrial parquet This type of parquet is thicker than the aforementioned glued parquet and parquet flooring, since we made it with the leftovers from the selection of wood. Contrary to your impression, when reading what we described above, industrial parquet is of very good quality. Its. resistance is proven, and it also provides a visual aspect similar to a mosaic that, by adding a special enamel or oil, presents spectacular finishes. Cleaning techniques for parquet floor Among the general conditions for the good maintenance of the parquet is the fact of avoiding excess water at all costs and scratches on the floor because of moving furniture, rubbing of chairs, furniture and in case you have pets at home! Pay close attention to them! Because their nails usually cause irreparable damage on this type of floor. Remember that we install the parquet evenly, and once the boards have been applied and sealed, the only way to replace them is to complete. Besides this, it is important to note that if you buy a specific brand product to clean your parquet floor, you must follow its instructions to the letter to avoid counterproductive results. We will describe below a variety of easy and quick-to-apply homemade mixtures so that you safely experience the cleaning of your parquet floor: Natural oils: allies of the parquet floor In a bucket with approximately 4 liters of water, add 10 drops of the essential oil of your choice (lavender, tea tree, eucalyptus or lemon and pine) and mop the floor. You will get a shiny parquet and a pleasant and perfumed atmosphere in the rooms that apply it. Vinegar and Soap Vinegar has become popular among recipes and mixtures for the effective cleaning of different areas, and parquet is no exception. Dissolve approximately 50 ml of vinegar in 4 liters of water and a tablespoon of soap powder, rinse the floor with the help of the mop and let it dry. Sodium bicarbonate Baking soda powder is ideal for treating scratches on parquet flooring; sprinkle a little on the affected area, and with the help of an atomizer spray a mixture of water and vinegar, then you will remove it with the help of a clean cloth, delicately and smooth until you see them disappear. To finish, we recommend that if your parquet floor is old, and you have seen it lose its shine over time, try polishing it with the help of a professional cleaning company in Melbourne. You may also contact a cleaning company for a tailored quote if you don't have such a tool.

Sometimes it can be a false economy by not doing the job correctly in the first place. Especially if the self levelling needs to be the finish of the floor, and your not putting tiles or carpet over the finished floor to protect it. For your use, I would spend the money and get it done once, properly.
