Tile floor refinishing
Carrollton, TX VCT Floors Stripped, Sealed and Waxed
The floor is the first thing visitors walk on. Make it the shiniest thing they see.
A Floor That Greets People Properly
A lobby can have new paint and good lighting and still look tired, because the tile underfoot is hazy and scuffed. Vinyl composition tile holds a beautiful shine, but only if the finish is fresh. Once dirt gets locked between layers of old wax, mopping just moves it around. A full strip and refinish is the reset. Here is what the price buys. The area is cleared. Edges are scraped. Stripper softens the old layers, machines scrub them up and the slurry is removed. Rinse water and neutralizer take care of the residue. Next comes a sealer, then several coats of finish, each given time to dry. Once cured, a burnisher spins the surface to a hard, glossy shine. What moves the price: square footage, how many old coats are on the floor, furniture to move and how tight the work window is. Lobbies, corridors, schools, retail floors and church halls are typical jobs. In Carrollton, most are booked overnight or across a weekend.
