Waxing new vct tile.

And in fact these types of floors. The most important thing to do after installation is wax the floors. For the best results have the vct stripped and waxed prior to moving furniture or people into the space ideally allowing a full 24 hours of cure time before it is walked on. We will then recoat all areas with 4 6 layers of castleguard or clarian 25 industrial grade wax.

If the floor is properly waxed foot traffic will only walk on the wax. The manufacturer of the vinyl tiles you just put down on your floor might have told you that they were maintenance free. Once new vct is installed it must be properly stripped and waxed with at least two coats of wax applied. The concept behind this type of flooring is to never allow foot traffic to touch the floor.

Allow the acrylic to dry for the amount of time recommended by the manufacturer. Remove all dirt and dust before waxing. Apply a circle of floor wax onto a small section of the vinyl tile floor. Yes scrub the tile with green or blue pads most tiles made have a spray wax applied at the factory to help it stay nice while its in a building under construction.

Scrub with mild cleaner rinse with clear water. 10 spread the wax gently over the floor tiles with the new dry mop until the wax is evenly distributed over this section of the floor. Dip the paintbrush in the acrylic to saturate it and paint the tiles from front to back covering them completely. With high quality stripping and waxing your flooring will remain clean shiny and attractive for years to come.
