Good news: it\u2019s in good shape.<\/p>\n<p>So what can you do to give it a second life?<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To begin with, clean the gaps between the boards to remove excess paint and to ensure that they\u2019re as straight as possible. Word to the wise: this job requires a lot of patience.<\/li>\n<li>Next, sand the parts where the paint is peeling. Be sure to wear safety goggles and a mask, because the paint very likely contains lead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may notice that in certain places the space between boards is such that it doesn\u2019t properly connect to the adjacent plank. Fine dust and solid particles could fall with the slightest vibration. It\u2019s preferable to fill these spaces with an acrylic sealant that provides flexibility for variations in humidity. This material can also be painted.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_416\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-416\" style=\"width: 429px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viacapitalevendu.com\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/renovation_mars_2013_plafond.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-416\" style=\"margin: 1px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viacapitalevendu.com\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/renovation_mars_2013_plafond.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"429\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viacapitalevendu.com\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/renovation_mars_2013_plafond.jpg 429w, https:\/\/www.viacapitalevendu.com\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/renovation_mars_2013_plafond-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-416\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source : Casarazzi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Winter is a great time to do this work because the low level of humidity in our homes causes wood to contract, leaving a maximum of space in the joints.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the joints remain clean and stable for much longer.
