Surface diagnosis
Check the coating type, adhesion, scratch depth, stains and whether any wood is already exposed.

First determine whether the parquet is lacquered, oiled or factory UV-finished, and whether the protection is merely worn or has worn through to bare wood. Without this information, a product cannot be selected safely.

Process
From diagnosis to the correct LOBA layer.
Cleaning test
Test an inconspicuous area to distinguish dirt and an old care-product layer from actual damage to the lacquer.
Treatment route
For a lacquered floor, choose a maintenance layer or approved 2K Contact system; for an oiled floor, use a compatible oil or wax.
Test area and application
Before treating the entire room, check adhesion, colour, gloss and drying on a test area.
Aftercare instructions
Observe the waiting times before walking, full traffic, covering and the first damp clean.

When should this route not be used?
If scratches cut through the finish, edges are raised, wood is grey or black, the finish is peeling, or unknown wax or silicone is present, renovation without sanding may be unsafe.

Questions
All questions →Answers for this procedure.
Does renovation without sanding remove deep scratches?
No. A care layer may conceal light marks. Deep damage through the finish or into the wood requires different preparation and often sanding.
Is 2K Contact suitable for every finish?
No. It is intended for industrially UV-finished parquet and requires thorough preparation, a test area and an approved topcoat.
Does the process avoid machinery altogether?
Stripping often uses a single-disc machine, green pad and wet vacuum. The difference is that the old wood itself is not sanded with a sanding machine.

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