Vinyl Strip and Seal

Proper Cleaning extends the life of Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl floors can lose their sheen or lustre overtime as the layers of sealer becomes abraded and scuffed by regular daily foot traffic and dirt becomes ingrained. Without the proper maintenance these floors can also discolour further through the use of incorrect cleaning solutions or a build-up of wax. If the layers of sealant are allowed to wear away, the vinyl's surface can be permanently damaged and affect the longevity or your flooring.

We use safe, good quality and fast acting floor stripping solutions specifically designed to remove floor polishes and sealers from vinyl floors. The stripper solution is applied onto the floor and sufficient time is allowed for the solution to soften the seal or polish. Next, the vinyl floor is scrubbed to remove the old layer(s) of sealer using a slow-speed polisher with stripping pad. The surface is then cleaned, “neutralised” ( with a solution containing a PH neutralising additive) and dried, ready for the application of layers of high quality sealer. After applying multiple layers of sealer, we then buff the surface to produce an “as new” high gloss finish.

What is Vinyl Stripping and Sealing?

Vinyl stripping and sealing is the process of removing a layer of sealer, and cleaning and resealing the surface. Depending on the condition of the floor, this can involve the removal of just some of the top layers, and the application of a new top layer, or the removal and resealing of all layers. During a regular maintenance program the application of a new top layer is an intermediate step before performing a complete strip and seal of the vinyl floor. The amount of foor traffic is frequently a determing factor in the scheduling of cleaning and maintenance of vinyl flooring.

Vinyl flooring wether it is in a Tile format or a full floor covering has come a long way from the days of being flimsy plastic based products some of which were made from wood pulp/resin mix called Linoleum, hence the word Lino.

Manufacturers have since introduced tough, scratch-resistant blends that are a lot more durable than in the past.
