Floor renewal is a new yet quick and simple alternative to achieve your goal of improving the hygienic properties of your facilities starting at the ground up!
Every day, a significant amount of dirt and microorganisms hide in joints, seams, and scratches found on floors. The Bona Resilient Solution minimizes these areas by creating a seamless surface thus reducing the bioload of contaminants and providing long-term protection for resilient floors.
Over time scratches will appear in most resilient floors creating an area for dirt and germs to hide.
Popular design today includes texture or grooves on the floors' surface which can also trap dirt and grime making floors hard to clean.
While LVT floors are easy to install, the seams created between the boards can harbor dirt and germs.
The Bona Resilient Solution creates a monolithic flooring surface which will eliminate areas for bacteria and dirt to hide
According to the standards of the TRBA, Bona commissioned a study to prove that a resilient floor with seams can be renewed to improve its hygienic properties by recoating it with the Bona Resilient Solution. By combining the bioload with a fluorescent pigment, a UV light exposed where the bacteria was hiding on the floor. The above photos show the contamination levels associated with a non-treated floor versus the reduction of bacteria and germs when a Bona Resilient Solution coating is applied.
Case study: Elementary school floor renewal
At Santa Clara Elementary school in Tucson, AZ, the VCT floors were dirty and damaged from the wear and tear of a high volume of foot traffic throughout the school year. The damage to the floor created a dangerous and unsafe environment for the students. In addition to the dirt that became impossible to clean from between the tile seams, the school’s heighted sense of bacteria and germs during the COVID-19 pandemic had them searching for a better safer floor for the return to in-person leaning. The Bona Resilient Solution provided a a durable, monolithic floor surface that can withstand the heavy traffic of elementary students but also the harsh chemicals and hand sanitizers the school utilized on a daily basis.
