This Tampa VCT (vinyl tile) floor was a new installation that needed to be stripped of the light factory coating, cleaned of construction debris and paint, then coated with six coats of wax. This job was complicated by the fact the client needed the floor on Saturday and the VCT was being installed Friday night with a full crew working in the building. Newly Installed VCT should be given between 4-24 hours to set up before stripping and waxing the VCT. We did our best with the conditions at hand and delivered the floor as shown 2 hours before opening.To ensure the highest quality appearance and durability of the VCT floors we Strip and wax, we apply 2 coats of a urethane reinforced floor finish to seal the vinyl composite tiles and 4 coats of a high solids floor wax. We high speed polish the VCT every other coat. Lightly burnishing the VCT every other layer hardens the wax and increases the shine. This allows us to fix things by polishing off a layer and building it back up.
This picture is of the VCT floor after 1 month. There were foot prints in the wax because the AC guy walked on the VCT while it was still wet. We used a high speed floor buffer with diamond embedded polishing pads to polish out the foot prints.
