Vinyl and terrazzo floors are coated with a sealant that provides protection against scratches and general wear, while also aides with cleaning and maintenance processes.
Over time, due to constant traffic, the sealant wears thin, and the floored area needs to be resurfaced.
The process of strip and sealing is the removing of the old sealer and applying new coats of sealer to the floor in several layers.
The purpose of the sealer is to safeguard the floor against scratches. We use safe, superior quality and fast-acting floor stripping solutions that are specifically designed for the removal of floor polishes and sealers from vinyl and terrazzo floors.
How often do I need to have my floor stripped and sealed?
The period in which a floor should be stripped and sealed depends on the area and how it is used. Commercial floors will usually require resealing every year or two, while with residential floors, it’s good to have them sealed every 3-10 years depending on foot traffic and use. It also depends on the quality of the sealer that is used and the way it has been applied. If you have the procedure professionally done, you will get the most out of it and be saving time and money.

A high-quality sealer is applied in layers (minimum three layers) We recommend eight layers of sealer as this will last much longer before having to reseal the floor.
Additional Services Available
Heavy Duty Cleaning
If the Vinyl is in dire straits, a heavy duty clean may be required. We will use a much more potent stripper and must agitate the floor for a much longer period; sometimes this will need to be done twice.
Floor buffing uses a buffer to polish floors. While the floor should be cleaned before buffing, the squeegees in the back of a buffer help gather any dirt and moisture that are left behind. While buffing does restore some gloss and smoothness to floors, it does not achieve the same wet-look shine that burnishing does.
Burnishing refers only to polishing the floors at a higher speed to produce maximum shine. The extra shine is due to the burnisher’s much higher speed, which can run from 1,500 to 2,500 revolutions per minute. Burnishing is often done after buffing to achieve that wet-look shine.
