The floors in your office take a beating. From heavy desks and equipment to constant walking and cleaning, your office floors work almost as hard as you do. And, just like you, your office floors need to work at 100% every single day.

Waxing your floors is a great way to not only protect your floors, but to make them easier to clean office and better able to withstand the daily wear and tear that comes with being part of an office. With proper care and maintenance from Executive Building Maintenance, you will ensure the long-lasting durability and professional appearance of your floors for many years to come. 

The Benefits of Floor Wax

1. Protects from Scuffs and Scratches

The more foot traffic a floor endures, the higher the likelihood of it getting scuffed and scratched. Over time, these small scratches make the floor look dull and worn out, and a tired looking floor can look unprofessional. To avoid having to change your floor every couple of years, getting it waxed and stripped regularly will create a protection against these nicks and scuffs, keeping your floors looking fresh. 

2. Prevents Stains from Discolouration

Just as scratches and scuffs can make your floors look worn out and tired, stains and discoloration can do the same. Dirt and debris can sink into the floors and start to change their appearance. Once staining has occurred, it isn’t able to be reversed. Instead of worrying about having to change tiles or floorboards, scheduling regular waxing and stripping appointments will help keep everything protected. 

Our technicians really know the best maintenance procedures for different flooring types.

3. Prevents Tile Lifting

Without proper protection, the dirt, debris and moisture that penetrates the floor’s surface can result in more serious damage than just stains or scuffs. It can actually cause individual tiles or floorboards to lift and break. When water or debris gets below the surface, it can weaken the glue and cause the tile to move. Shaky tiles don’t look very professional but they can also be dangerous. The waxing process adds a layer of protection by blocking potential cracks thus not allowing water or debris below the surface. 

4. Reduces Chances of Moisture Getting In

Moisture can be a floor’s worst nightmare. Specially in our BC weather.  When moisture seeps into the flooring, the flooring not only appears discoloured, but the flooring can actually deteriorate, resulting in mold or rot in the flooring. Moisture also can cause the floors to warp or bubble, resulting in a deformed looking floor. Furthermore, a rotting and warped floor can be dangerous for those walking on it. Regularly waxing the floors creates a barrier between the floor and any impending moisture. 

5. Maintains a Clean Floor

Every time you have your floors stripped and waxed, you make your office shine a little brighter. These processes help elevate the level of cleanliness in the space, thus making it a more welcoming environment for employees and customers alike. Furthermore, these processes help make the daily janitorial cleaning routine that much more effective, as the floor’s surface will be protected, thus making floor cleaning a surface job that isn’t risky.
