Call Gerrus Maintenance Inc. to wax your floors and make them shine . The shiny “waxed” vinyl tile floor you have just walked on probably has no wax on it. You should also know that you walked on the surface of the floor coating and not the flooring itself. That coating improves the appearance of the flooring, makes maintenance easier and more cost effective, and protects the flooring from wear. Abrasive, greasy, ugly dirt that you tracked in from the outdoors will scuff and harm the finish, but as long as that floor coating remains intact, the vinyl tile will not be degraded. That is why it is so important for your janitorial services contractor to offer a well-executed floor cleaning and coating program. Gerrus Maintenance Inc. has been protecting and showcasing commercial resilient tile flooring since 1974 as part of our state-of-the art building cleaning and maintenance programs. We can bring the benefits of our experience to your facility.
In the early days of the building maintenance industry, various carnauba wax floor coatings were the standards of commercial floor care. Carnauba wax, a Brazilian palm plant derivative, tends to yellow with time. Although carnauba wax is still used in formulations such as surfboard wax and automobile polish, it is too soft to withstand the punishment of commercial foot traffic. Carnauba floor coatings can also be quite slippery. Modern resin technology enables the use of plastic coatings. High quality synthetic floor finishes are more color-stable, wear-resistant, and are not slippery. They tend to maintain a professional appearance if properly cleaned and renewed, are attractive when competently applied and maintained, are long-lasting, and provide economical protection for commercial and industrial flooring.
Advances in organic resin technology have certainly brought about a revolution in floor care. Modern premium, high solids, vinyl tile floor coatings yield a plastic film that contains no “wax.” However, the term “floor waxing” is still affectionately used in deference to tradition. Well-planned vinyl floor care programs should include provisions for frequently removing abrasive, unsightly dirt and grease from the surface, and for renewal of the floor coating. To supplement the family of conventional floor finishes, there are also specialized floor coatings that are used in difficult environments, such as conductive coatings for areas where static electricity is a concern. The optimum techniques for properly maintaining and refreshing your coated vinyl flooring depends upon traffic patterns, the nature of the dirt being tracked onto the surface, the “shine” standard you are targeting, safety requirements, and of course your maintenance budget. Let us help you hit your target.
