FLOORING
COMPARING RESILIENT RENEWAL TO REPLACEMENT
Tony Peak, Sales Manager at Bona, looks at why resilient floor renewal is better than brand-new replacement.
The second largest surface area in any commercial space is the floor, following closely behind walls which account for the greatest area. Used daily, floors undergo significant wear and tear, particularly in areas that attract high levels of footfall such as reception areas, or zones that undergo increased movement of heavy equipment.
It’s inevitable that at some stage a surface will experience damage. There may be holes, gaps, and discoloration for instance, or in the worst circumstances, the surface may become a safety hazard. Keeping facilities up and running while maintaining budgets is a top priority, and in a crisis situation, if a floor becomes a danger to people, rash decisions are often made to replace the surface with a brand-new installation. Yet, there is a better, quicker, and cheaper option that generates the same outstanding results as a brand-new replacement; resilient renewal.
Reboost resilient floors Renewal gives new life to worn floors and significantly outshines replacement, delivering the impact that facilities management professionals seek.
It’s a misconception that if the surface is in bad condition, the only option is to purchase new. In fact, even when the
surface is significantly degraded, renewal is often the better choice, surpassing brand-new replacement in a number of ways.
"If a floor becomes a danger to people, rash decisions are often made to replace the surface with a brand-new installation."
In the facilities management industry, fully renovating resilient flooring such as LVT, linoleum, vinyl, rubber, or PVC once it’s reached the end of its product life cycle, is a revolution – bringing a host of benefits.
