Define the objective
Do you want easier cleaning and less visible wear, or a genuinely new lacquered finish?
Care treatment or a new topcoat?
Protective coating for parquet
A maintenance layer may be removable or permanent, depending on the product; a 2K topcoat creates a new protective surface. Their purpose, preparation and risks are different.
30–40 ml/m²maintenance layer
100–120 ml/m²2K finish
1test area required
For light scratches and wear paths, a compatible care treatment is often sufficient. Suitable factory-finished parquet can be recoated with the 2K Contact system. If the wood is exposed, sanding and a new lacquer finish are required.

Process
From diagnosis to the correct LOBA layer.
Assess adhesion
The existing finish must be sound. A delaminating or worn-through layer is not a suitable base for a new film.
Match the sheen
Extra-matt, satin and higher-gloss finishes show transitions differently; the choice must match the existing appearance.
Confirm the system
Care products differ in removability, while 2K Contact has specifically approved topcoats and a defined application window.

When should this route not be used?
The word "coating" alone does not tell you whether the product is a cleaner, care product, oil, adhesion primer or 2K finish. These products are not interchangeable.

Questions
All questions →Answers for this procedure.
Is a care coating as durable as a new 2K finish?
No. A care layer is designed to extend service life and conceal light signs of wear. A new 2K finish provides different mechanical and chemical protection.
Can I simply lacquer over an old care layer?
No. Care-product residues must be removed completely because even a small amount can compromise adhesion.
Which coating preserves the most natural appearance?
InvisibleCare may be suitable for extra-matt lacquered floors. 2K InvisibleProtect is a new protective finish for correctly prepared bare wood, not a general care product for an old finish.

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