Burnishing questions
How often should VCT be burnished?
Busy retail and school floors usually get burnished weekly or every two weeks; quieter floors monthly. We set the visits after we evaluate your floor project and its traffic.
What is the difference between burnishing, buffing and stripping?
Buffing cleans and smooths the finish at low speed. Burnishing runs at high speed to bring back a wet-look gloss. Stripping removes old finish down to the tile before new coats go on.
Does burnishing work on ceramic or terrazzo?
Ceramic and porcelain get a deep scrub and sealer instead. Terrazzo can be polished with diamond pads. We tell you which fits your floor after the walk-through.
Can you burnish at night or on weekends?
Yes. Crews work after hours so your store, school or clinic stays open.
What does a burnishing plan cost?
It depends on square feet, how often we visit and the floor's condition. Send the size and your hours and we return one price you approve.
