Acrylic finish is the classic glossy coating on resilient floors. Here is how it behaves and how to look after it.
Your Questions Answered
What Is Acrylic Floor Finish?
A water-based coating applied in several thin layers to protect resilient flooring and give it shine.
How Long Does It Last?
With regular maintenance and periodic recoating, a finish can perform well for a long time before it needs a full strip.
How Often Should It Be Buffed?
That depends on traffic and the look you want. Busy floors may be buffed weekly; quieter ones far less often.
Is It Slippery?
A clean, dry, properly cured finish provides good traction. Any floor can be slippery when wet, so spills should be cleaned promptly.
Can It Be Stripped And Reapplied?
Yes. Being removable is one of its advantages, as worn finish can be taken off and replaced.
Will It Yellow?
Quality finishes resist yellowing. Discoloration is usually caused by embedded dirt or too many layers built up over time.
Will Applying It Disrupt My Business?
Work is normally done after hours, and the floor is ready by the next business day.
