Value of Burnishing

value of burnishing

Your floors endure a lot of wear and tear every day. One of the most valuable things you can do to ensure they stay looking their best is to burnish them regularly.

Improved Appearance

Even regular floor traffic creates micro-scratches and abrasions, dulling the look of your floors with embedded dirt and grit. Burnishing heats the floor coating, causing it to level itself and fill in any imperfections, preventing dirt from becoming embedded and creating a cleaner, more reflective surface.

Durability and Slip Resistant

Burnishing tightens the floor coating, increasing its durability and enhancing the contact friction between the floor surface and shoe sole material, resulting in greater slip resistance.

Shorter Cure Times

Burnishing generates intense heat, activating the floor's coating at a deeper level. The rapid thermal action accelerates the curing cycle, locking in a durable, high-gloss finish so scuffing, black heel marks and wear are minimized.
