VINYL COMPOSITE TILE (VCT)
STRIPPING & WAXING SERVICE

Vinyl composite tile, or VCT, periodically needs a floor wax finish applied. Sometimes the old sealer needs to be removed or stripped off, and then 4 to 8 coats of new sealer are applied. VCT has a porous surface; if not properly sealed, it will develop stains reducing the floor's lifespan. VCT flooring in a busy commercial environment should last over 20 years if properly maintained.  

​

Dirt and oils from foot traffic get trapped in the finish over time. It causes the floors to look less shiny and can even develop dark areas in high-traffic areas. To remedy this, Diamond Floor Solution offers two service levels: scrub & recoat and strip and wax.  

​

Scrub & recoat involves deep scrubbing the floor with a heavy floor cleaning machine and applying one coat of sealer. Stripping and waxing consist of removing the old sealer and replacing it with 4 to 8 coats of new wax. In most high-traffic areas, we recommend having the floor stripped and waxed every 3 to 12 months and scrub & recoat every 1 to 3 months.
