Repair less, preserve more

Localised renovation of oiled parquet

A small area of non-film-forming oiled wood can often be refreshed locally, but absorbency and colour must be tested rather than guessed.

A local repair works best on an evenly oiled, absorbent surface. On a UV-oiled or hardwax-oiled finish, or where there is marked discolouration, the repair edge may remain visible.

Process

From diagnosis to the correct LOBA layer.

01

Clean more than just the stain

Make the transition wide enough for the new care treatment to blend visually into the surrounding surface.

02

Check the absorbency

Confirm the original oil system and use an inconspicuous test area to check whether the selected care product wets the surface evenly and dries correctly.

03

Apply a minimal amount

Spread the oil in the direction of the wood and remove any excess.

04

Compare after drying

Assess the colour only after the drying time specified in the TDS; a wet surface always looks darker.

Products for this route

Each product has one clear role.

STOP

When should this route not be used?

If the wood is deeply damaged, greasy, contaminated with silicone or otherwise contaminated, a localised oil treatment without preparation may remain sticky or dark.

Next treatment

If surface care is not enough.

Questions

Answers for this procedure.

All questions →
Will the local patch be completely invisible?

It cannot be guaranteed. The age of the wood, light exposure, previous products and absorbency all affect the colour transition.

Which oil is for factory UV-oiled parquet?

A conventional maintenance oil may not penetrate a non-absorbent UV-oiled surface. After testing, LOBA lists film-forming Permanent OilCare or NatureWax as possible alternatives.

Can I return the furniture after a few hours?

Observe the full-traffic time in the selected product's TDS; for several maintenance oils it is 12 hours under standard conditions.

The surface type, depth of damage and previous care determine whether the correct route is cleaning, maintenance layer, oil, 2K Contact or sanding.
