Do your wood, vinyl, or stone floors need to be refinished? Before you reach for harsh chemicals, there are a number of ways to make the processes of revitalizing floors more environmentally friendly. How many different types of floors are in your building? Ones that can be refinished are vinyl composition tile (VCT), luxury vinyl tile (LVT), terrazzo, and hardwood. Those that can be refurbished are stones like marble, limestone, travertine, and granite. All refinishing or refurbishing timelines are affected by traffic and usage variables and the type of finishes used. Harder finishes, for example, usually do not have the same gloss capabilities but hold shine longer between service procedures like buffing or burnishing. VCT, LVT, and terrazzo can be refinished multiple times per year, but proactive maintenance practices will prolong the time between.
