ARTUS Solutions: Repairing scratches on natural wood floors (parquet) - Santander
In this tutorial, we detail the repair of scratches on a natural wood floor. Parquet flooring, while practical and functional, is especially vulnerable to deep scratches that can visibly damage its surface. These are not mere superficial marks: they are caused by dragging heavy furniture without protection, wearing shoes with hard soles, or by the impact of blunt objects. Deep scratches affect both the aesthetics and durability of the parquet, as they leave marks that are difficult to conceal and make it look deteriorated quickly.
The process included:
Assess the type of damage and the environmental conditions to confirm the possibility of performing a localized repair without the need for replacement.
Prepare the affected area by technical cleaning and precisely delimit the area of the scratches.
Apply compatible materials, selected for their adhesion, resistance and ability to integrate in color and texture.
Perform the modeling and finishing by hand, taking care of the shape and avoiding any visual excess.
The result restores the visual and functional continuity of the parquet flooring, avoiding the total replacement of the piece or the whole, which would have entailed a high economic and environmental cost.
This case exemplifies how responsible technical intervention can extend the lifespan of materials, minimize environmental impact, and preserve the original design without resorting to replacement.
Philosophy of Conscious Repair: Precision, Respect, and Sustainability
At ARTUS Solutions, we promote a philosophy of conscious repair , where every action seeks a balance between technical precision, respect for the material, and environmental commitment. Repairing is not just about fixing things: it's about making informed decisions, minimizing waste, and adding value through sustainability.
