Where: Kirkston
Work Activities: Karndean stripping and redressing

If your Amtico or Karndean is not looking it’s best, showing signs of wear, dirt and scratches having lost its lustre it may be time to get it professionally restored.

Citrus can now offer two options, either strip and redress similar to the diy packs you can get from both Amtico or Karndean without the hassle. This is effectively the application of a sacrificial layers of polish which will wear and dull over time. The other more permanent option is to strip and clean the floors, then apply a new wear layer, in the form of two coats of polyurethane clear coat, available in Matt satin or gloss.

Work Activity: Amtico Restoration

This clients Amtico had lost its lustre over the years, appearing dull and scratched.

After protecting the skirtings in this kitchen, we used an alkaline stripper to lift the exiting scratched and dirty seal. A rotary machine in conjunction with a wet vac was used to remove the residue, the floor was then neutralised and dried with the use of a whole room dryer. Three coats of Amtico dressing was then applied to achieve the results shown in the after photo

However, after only six months the mat had stained the floor leaving a dark grey imprint that could not be removed by cleaning. Citrus™ came to lady’s rescue by stripping and sealing the floor and restoring it to its former glory. Check out the before and after photos!

Karndean Floor Scratch Repair, Sealing & Restoration in Forfar

It is worth sealing your commercial karndean floor before damage occurs. As we were called out to Davidson Chemist in Forfar, where a new floor have been installed in less than six weeks. The tote box is used for dispensing drugs had damaged the floor resulting in scratches. These marks had penetrated the manufacturer’s seal leaving white scratches on the grey tiles. We stripped the existing tropical seal and colour matched the tiles colouring in the white scratches. Then applied two coats of seal, which resulted in the scratches being filled and being invisible, as you can see from the photos below.
