Simix Saves Old VCT Tile Floor, Saving Owners From Having to Replace It

QUEBEC, CANADA (July 5, 2016) - The owners of a grocery store in Quebec, Canada, are thrilled with the way they're saving money on floor maintenance now that they use Simix.

The owners had been told that 50% of the badly damaged VCT tile in this grocery store needed to be replaced.

But in February 2015, they decided to give Simix Multi-Surface Coating a try. Over the next 18 months, crews applied a total of 50+ coats of Simix Ceramic Floor Coating to densify the floor.

The VCT tiles now have a glass-like appearance. As an added bonus, the floors stay cleaner longer. They are now only burnishing once a week. 

The 94 reading on the gloss meter shown here was taken six days after the most recent burnishing. There's no way a floor coated with traditional acrylic coating would score a 94 after six days of hard use.
