FAQ

What is the drying time for VCT tile (after fresh wax application)?

VCT TILE

 

There are many factors that determine how quickly freshly laid wax will dry. Room temperature, humidity, type of wax, thickness of the layer of wax laid and air circulation all affect whether the floor will be dry to the touch in one hour or ten.


In most climate-controlled environments, each layer of wax should take about one hour to dry, but the entire floor may not dry at an even rate. 

 

This is why a 24 hour cure time is ideal before the floor is walked on or furniture is placed back on it. 

 

Furniture and equipment should never be dragged across VCT; it can scratch not only the wax but permanently mar the tile itself.

How to protect and prevent damage to your VCT?

Stripping And Waxing

Stripping and waxing can remove stains, build shine, correct previous poor strip jobs and improve the general look but it can never guarantee 100% return to the original appearance.


VCT is a porous material and dirt and grime may become permanently embedded in the exposed tile if all of the wax is allowed to wear away.


You should never let 100% of the floor’s wax wear away before cleaning and re-sealing.

Why do I need to strip / wax / polish my floor regularly?

The Factory Finish Is Not Enough

 

VCT is manufactured with a very thin factory finish coat of wax meant to protect it against minor abrasions during shipping and installation. This factory finish is not enough to endure daily wear and tear post-installation. 


Once new VCT is installed it must be properly stripped and waxed with at least two coats of new wax applied. 


For the best results, have the VCT stripped and waxed prior to moving furniture or people into the space

 

Ideally, allow a full 24 hours of cure time before it is walked on. 

The post-wax wait time is the same for existing VCT as well.

Terminology

Buffing (a floor)

Buffing is the process of making the flooring surface smooth and glossy by friction.

Single Disk Floor buffer (machine)

A floor buffer is used during the stripping phase for wax removal when stripping and waxing floors.

VCT tile

Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) is a resilient floor covering that is widely used in commercial settings.

Floor Sealer

Sealers, usually acrylics, are applied between the floor and the finish/polish to help fill in the pores and smooth the surface. Sealers provide a base that promotes adhesion and increases the gloss of the finish/polish that is applied over it. Some sealers also provide stain resistance.

Stripping the floor

Stripping is the process of removing existing layers of old, site-applied sealers and/or finishes from the flooring surface.

  • A standard stripping chemical is diluted and applied to the floor with a mop or solution applicator and allowed to dwell.
  • This solution penetrates the finish and re-emulsifies it into a semi-liquid state.
  • Abrasive agitation is needed to completely remove the finish using a floor machine.
