Vinyl Composition Tiles or VCT tiles, which are the type of tiles generally used in commercial and institutional buildings, require scheduled attention since these buildings have a high volume of traffic and need to maintain a professional appearance. Vinyl tile is favored over any other kind of flooring material in high-traffic areas because of its low cost, durability, and ease of maintenance. Vinyl composite tiles or linoleum floors are highly resistant to abrasion and damage. Another reason to incorporate these tiles in commercial and institutional buildings is that they can be repeatedly refinished using the “Tile Stripping and Waxing” method.

Tile Stripping is a process that involves removing the dull wax layers from the Vinyl and linoleum tiles with the help of a stripping solution, and reapplying new wax or seal coat for a new and improved look. Once the tiles are stripped from the old dull finish dull coat, a new seal coat is applied, and multiple coats are recommended for high-traffic facilities or institutional offices serving consumers daily. Then they are buffered using a mechanical circulating buffing machine. This process is highly effective if someone wants their flooring to have a new look without having to replace tiles.

Despite regular floor cleaning, Vinyl tiles are dull and aged or scratched. This happens for a number of reasons including wax buildup and consistent impact. Once Vinyl tiles are stripped and the old wax layers are removed, a new fresh layer of wax is applied to the tiles giving them a new shine and luster. Tile waxing helps in making the Vinyl tiles look brand new and clean looking floor.

 

Vinyl tiles that are not sealed and waxed are easily damaged, scratched, or worn out. All-Care recommends customers avoid tile replacement by opting for a complete maintenance plan that helps in extending the life of tiles prone to high traffic.
