Below are photographs of Exeter Crown Court before and after we have stripped the old floor polish from the floors and reapplied two coats of fresh floor polish.
We were contacted by Exeter Crown Court as we have previously undertaken this work but as the photographs show the floor had deteriorated since the last deep clean. The benefits of stripping and resealing a vinyl floor are numerous. Listed below are some of the benefits of regular floor maintenance.
Restores the Floor’s Appearance
- Removes layers of dirt, grime and old finishes that can dull the floor’s surface.
- Enhances the floor’s colour and sheen, giving it a refreshed, like-new look.
Protects the Vinyl Surface
- Sealing creates a protective barrier against stains, scratches and moisture ingress, which can extend the life of the vinyl considerably.
- Reduces wear and tear from daily foot traffic.
Improves Hygiene
- Stripping removes accumulated dirt and bacteria trapped in old finishes.
- A properly sealed floor is easier to clean and maintain, promoting a more hygienic environment.
Enhances Durability
- Sealing helps prevent damage from spills, scuffs and UV exposure.
- It reduces the likelihood of permanent stains or surface degradation.
Cost-Effective Maintenance
- Regularly stripping and resealing can delay the need for costly floor replacements.
- Maintained floors require less intensive cleaning, saving time and resources over the long term.
Increases Safety
- Proper sealing reduces slipperiness by creating a uniform surface, decreasing the risk of slips and falls.
- Stripping removes uneven, worn layers that can contribute to tripping hazards.
Boosts Property Value
- A well-maintained floor contributes to a clean, polished look, enhancing the overall appeal of a space. This can be particularly beneficial in commercial or rental properties where first impressions matter.
