Sealing Vinyl Floors
Vinyl Floors are designed to simply fit together with an adhesive. However sealed vinyl floors last longer. Here is the 4 step process for sealing vinyl floors:
- Clean the Vinyl Floor to Prepare for Sealing - It is vital that the floor is completely clean and free from dust and dirt to start the sealing process. This task is as simple as sweeping the floor with a soft bristly broom, cleaning with microfibre cloth and using a vacuum cleaner for the seams.
- Remove existing polish or wax from the surface - You need to remove any wax or polish remaining on the vinyl floor surface. A vinyl floor stripper is the ideal solution to get this part of the process done effectively.
- Applying the Sealant - Apply the vinyl sealer evenly over the surface floor. This step has to be slow, careful and methodical. The sealed floor is left to dry for 10 hours, or as recommended in the instructions given in the sealant product manual that you are using.
- Clean Thoroughly & Reapply a Second Coat - When the sealant is dry, you can wipe the floor again with microfibre cloth. Reapplying a second coat is advisable to ensure the sealing is complete. You might need to reapply 3-4 times if needed.
