Vinyl Floor Polishing

Vinyl floor polishing makes the floor smoother, so it is easier to clean and has no little crevices for bacteria to grow in or dirt to get trapped in. Less dirt trapped on the surface also means the floor doesn’t get so slippery when water enters the factory, from a footbath for instance. Polishing vinyl makes the floor look beautiful, and each time it is recoated, nearly all scratches and marks will disappear.

We can use two different types of polish, depending on your situation.
Option one is more resistant to chemical. This is important in a footbath, or anywhere in a factory that chemical could be carried on the bottom of boots.
Option two is cheaper but is less resistant, so is better for areas like red line change outs, where only socks are worn.

How does it work?

• Firstly, the floor is cleaned. If the floor has already been polished, the old polish needs to be stripped. Chemical dissolves the polish, and technicians scrub it away. This can take 1-4 hours per medium-sized room, depending on the condition.
• The floor is mopped again to capture any remaining polish. This step also breaks down the chemical left on the surface. If any chemical is left when the polish is laid, it will result in a blotchy finish.
• Two base coats of polish are laid, followed by 3 topcoats.
• Once the process is complete, you cannot walk on the floor for at least 12 hours. 24 hours is ideal – the longer the better so the polish can harden up.
