- Q: What is the correct method for measuring the size of a vinyl area?
- A: It is best to measure each vinyl area individually. The simplest method is to multiply the width of the area by its length. For instance, if a room is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, the total area would be calculated as 3 meters (length) multiplied by 2 meters (width), resulting in a total of 6 square meters (6m2).
- Q: What are the purposes or benefits of resealing vinyl floors?
- A: Resealing vinyl floors is advised for multiple reasons. If your floors are aged, extensively scratched, or discolored, stripping away old sealers and applying a fresh, high-quality gloss finish can effectively restore their appearance. The process of resealing not only rejuvenates the look of the floors but also prolongs their lifespan. It diminishes the visibility of marks and scratches while establishing a protective barrier against dirt infiltration and abrasion. By opting for resealing, you can enhance the durability, enhance the visual appeal, and safeguard your vinyl or linoleum floors from future damage.
- Q: What is the recommended frequency for stripping and sealing my floor?
- A: Answering this question can be challenging because it relies on various factors such as frequency of use, contact with objects like trolleys, cleaning practices (sweeping, vacuuming, mopping), and the cleaning products used. Some brooms may have abrasive bristles that can potentially damage the floor. Additionally, certain chemicals can erode the floor sealer, so it's crucial to use pH-neutral floor cleaners with proper dilution rates. Even a pH-neutral cleaner can become alkaline if not diluted correctly. The number of previous sealer coats, the quality of the sealer, and the correct sealing technique employed also play a role in determining floor durability.
- Q: Can vinyl or linoleum floors be stripped too frequently?
- A: It is recommended to strip residential vinyl or linoleum floors every 3-10 years, while commercial floors may require stripping every 1-3 years. However, it is important to note that excessive stripping can potentially damage the floors. To maintain a fresh appearance, regular buffing and polishing are preferable as they help preserve the floors' new look.
