The eco-friendly way to make vinyl flooring shine again

Robust, water-repellent, with many attractive design options and suitable for use in all rooms: vinyl coverings, or to precise luxury vinyl tiles (LVTs), are a true all-rounder. When the shine wears off after a few years or signs of wear begin to show, the flooring can be renovated in no time at all. Modern high-performance coatings are available for this purpose, which our expert presents in this article.

Tip 1: Make old vinyl flooring look like new

Even particularly robust and hard-wearing vinyl flooring can show signs of use or scratches over the years. But this doesn’t mean you have to replace the flooring right away. These marks of wear and tear can be treated quickly and easily with special renovation coatings. After refinishing, dull floors will regain their shine. Sanding or stripping the floor is usually not necessary. And after a very short time, the floor is ready for use again.

Tip 2: The eco-friendly way to shine

Modern renovation coatings are water-based these days. The low solvent content (less than 8 percent) in these products only serves as a binder. Just like water, the solvent evaporates immediately after application. All that remains is a durable protective layer. In terms of performance, waterborne coatings are now just as efficient as conventional solvent-based systems. In addition, the risk of fire is virtually eliminated and odor development is next to zero.
