Vinyl Composite Tiles, or VCT, was once the most popular of all floor substrates. Made of as much as 70% clay, it was very pliable, but also very porous. It was imperative to seal off the pores so that dirt, oils and other stains could not work their way into the substrate.
We heartily recommend with this material that you use a urethane sealer and a blended or acrylic finish for gloss and durability. If you can keep soil on the surface than stripping becomes a thing of the past and burnishing or, at most, scrub/recoats becomes the norm.
Luxury Vinyl and Vinyl Sheet Goods Flooring are sold on the premise that they are 'maintenance-free". This is rarely the case. Traffic lanes will form, staining can occur and some form of recovery or restoration work may be required. When this happens - you can call on a FloorPros affiliate that will be sure to use right product for the job, in the right way and in the right order. The objective of this type of more dense material is to NOT build up a film on the surface of the substrate, but to merely protect it from the traffic and elements.

Sports floors require a set of standards completely unlike residential and commercial flooring. Athletes, running at high speeds, must have the assurance that the SCOF (Static Coefficient of Friction) allows for stops without sliding into walls (too slippery) or twisting an angle (too much grab). Your local FloorPros Affiliate is both trained and equipped to bring your floor into compliance while beautifying and showing you how to maintain it. While water-based coatings are available, we recommend OMU finishes for the longest wear.

Most polished concrete & terrazzo floors are treated with lithium densifiers during polishing process. We do not agree with this protocol. The reason can be found in the abundance of micro-cracks that plague floors treated with lithium. In addition, floors that are so treated have a steep decline in appearance within the first 3 months of service. Our protocol dictates a simple and easy ongoing maintenance plan that perpetuates shine while cleaning and burnishing.

Extracting soil from commercial grouted tile floors is made more difficult due to one key factor - detergent residue. Most kitchens are relying upon high pH detergents to break down greases and simply mop without rinsing or extraction. Grout line pores become clogged with the detergent, which then attract and retain soils day after day. Your local FloorPro Affiliate can remove the detergent, brighten the grout and show you a better method for cleaning. Then, for sealing, we use the same product as offered for Terrazzo floors.

Your local FloorPro Affiliate also has the training and equipment to provide you with a long-lasting epoxy floor with high gloss and deep beauty.
