Tile floor refinishing
VCT Floor Stripping and Waxing in Farmers Branch
How many coats? Which sealer? When does it get burnished? Your quote answers each question before the first drop of stripper hits the floor.
Why Does Vinyl Tile Look Worse Over Time?
Vinyl composition tile is hard to wear out, which is why it shows up in so many corridors, breakrooms, classrooms and retail floors. What does wear out is the finish on top. Each new coat of wax laid over a dirty one seals in a little more grime. Traffic paths dull first, edges yellow and black marks settle into the layers. Eventually more mopping makes no difference, because the dirt is inside the finish, not on it.
The fix is a full strip and refinish, and the quality comes down to steps that are easy to skip. We list them in your quote. Furniture is moved and edges protected. Stripping solution dissolves every old coat, a floor machine loosens it and a wet vacuum lifts it off. The tile is rinsed and neutralized so nothing interferes with adhesion. A sealer coat goes on, then multiple thin coats of finish, each one fully dry before the next. Finally a high-speed burnisher hardens the surface and pulls up the gloss. Skipping any one of those steps shortens the life of the floor, which is why none of them are left off the paper.
Steps Listed in Every Strip and Wax Quote

Area preparation

Chemical stripping
Old finish dissolved and loosened with a floor machine, then extracted with a wet vacuum.
Neutralizing rinse
Tile rinsed clean so leftover stripper does not weaken the new coats.
Sealer coat
A base layer that seals the porous tile surface and anchors the finish above it.

Several thin coats laid down evenly, with full dry time between each.
Burnishing
High-speed pad work that hardens the top coat and brings out a deep gloss.
