    16 Year Update on VCT Floor

    I installed 900+ square feet of VCT in my garage in 2007. I also bought a high speed polisher off of Craigslist and have put hours of care into the floor over the years. It is a garage and I have parked 3 to four cars in it over the years. A lot of tiles have been replaced over the last 16...

    VCT Garage Floor After 10 1/2 Years (Photos)

    Somehow, I missed this question, sorry. I used a generic strong VCT stripper from the local janitorial supply store. They put their name on the bottle so I don't know who makes it. But, they sale a standard and a strong solution. I used the strong one. I mop it on using the strongest...

    VCT Garage Floor After 10 1/2 Years (Photos)

    Living in So Cal I don't have those issues. Traffic, crime, gangs, bad gas and taxes.... but no snow. I cringe when putting wet cars in the garage during the rainy season. I park the cars on rubber mats to keep the tiles from getting stained. If water gets under the mats is is a mess. The...

    Thanks for the kind comments. Most folks can't understand the effort I put into a garage floor. It's nice to come here for validation!!!!

    VCT Garage Floor After 10 1/2 Years (Photos)

    I put this floor in when one of my daughters was pregnant with our first grandchild. We have four now. How time flies. I mop and burnish the floor on a regular basis. Every year or two I'll strip it and put a fresh coat of wax on it. I just finished doing that. I used 2 1/2 gallons of a...

    New VCT install

    Next month mine will be 9 years old. As I stated in an earlier post, it is a labor of love. I enjoy keeping it up, replacing tiles, sweeping/mopping/burnishing/buffing on a regular basis and stripping and re-waxing every year or two. Wet floors are not an issue. Water will drip from a wet...

    VCT (Vinyl Composition Tile)

    Hey Randy... sorry no one has gotten back to you sooner. After nearly 9 years I am very happy with my VCT garage floor. I went with the flecked black and white and would recommend it. They hide small imperfections. I believe that the solid ones would show dirt and anything else that drops on...

    VCT Garage Floor After 7 Year 8 Month (Photos)

    Thanks. I use a generic wax that the local janitoral supply store puts their name on. I have tried others and theirs seems to work the best. Lots of maintenance.... To keep it looking good I need to sweep it, mop it and burnish it at least every two week. If I have waxed it correctly and...

    VCT Garage Floor After 7 Year 8 Month (Photos)

    I put down 960 square feet of VCT in my garage in December of 2007. Over the last 7 1/2 years I have put many hours into keeping it looking good. Several tiles have been replaced due to stains, damage or poor installation. This is the forth time I have stripped it bare, sealed it and waxed...
