Why Should PVC Floors Be Polished?

PVC floor polishing creates a protective layer on the floor surface, providing resistance against wear, scratches and stains. It gives shine to the floor, renews its appearance, extends its lifespan and reduces maintenance costs. It especially improves the performance of PVC floors in high-traffic commercial areas.

How Often Should PVC Floor Polishing Be Done?

PVC floor polishing should be renewed every 6-18 months depending on usage intensity. Polishing is recommended every 6-12 months in commercial spaces (malls, offices, hospitals) and every 12-18 months in residences. Protective polishes should be renewed more frequently in high-traffic areas. Regular maintenance can extend PVC floor life by 30-50%.

How is PVC Floor Polishing Process Done?

PVC floor polishing process: 1) Deep floor cleaning, 2) Removal of old polish layer, 3) pH neutralization of floor surface, 4) Application of special PVC polish, 5) Waiting for drying time. After the process, light traffic is allowed within 2-4 hours, full use after 24 hours. Professional equipment and PVC-specific polishes are used.

What Should Be The Maintenance After PVC Floor Polishing?

After PVC floor polishing, neutral pH cleaners should be used, abrasive chemicals should be avoided. Regular vacuuming and wet mopping is sufficient. Special PVC cleaners should be used for heavy stains. Avoid prolonged contact with high moisture cloths. Abrasive cleaning materials should not be used to protect the protective polish layer.

2. Polish Selection and Preparation

Polish is selected according to floor type, traffic intensity, budget. Product instructions are read. Polish is mixed well (sediment may occur). If dilution is required, manufacturer ratio is followed. Room temperature should be 15-25°C, humidity 50-70%.

3. First Coat Application

Tools: Mop (flat pad), microfiber applicator, roller or spray (depending on product). Automatic polishing machine in professional applications.

4. Drying and Intermediate Coats

First Coat Drying: 30-60 minutes (water-based), 2-4 hours (solvent-based). Complete drying is waited, otherwise intermediate coat won't adhere.
