hi bros and sis! anyone has any idea how often we should polish our parquet floors and any maintenance tips for parquet flooring? TQ in advance!

Kelvin, polishing frequency is really dependent on how much traffic that space is getting. Some rooms see heavier usage so we do so once in 2-3 years. Especially those areas that are nearer to bathroom cos of moisture. 

You can try going to this link for some advice! Parquet floor polishing maintenance tips

Watch out, the wood shrinks and twist when temperature/moisture varies....

maintenance tips for parquet flooring?

You can try something called HCL89 from http://hcl89.byethost10.com or http://hcl89.atwebpages.com for cleaning and maintaining your parquet flooring

What it does is it cleans it and renews your parquet tiles so that it will always remain new

Hope this helps you out

My 1 year old parquet floor is filled with scratches. I am not sure if it is the quality of the parquet used or just rough usage.

Never knew this as i always thought only those unvarnished woods will shrink

If you avoid moisture and clean parquet floor with a suitable material .You will not face this problem again.

Problem is moisture will always be there and moisture is an issue that is very hard to avoid

Alot of wood materials shrink because the varnish wears out after a while, so if you go for wood make sure its treated wood so the shrinkage is very minute
