• Longer Lifecycle - Consistent shine without having to buff or add finish coats throughout the lifecycle
• Microbial and Infection Control - Prevents growth of bacteria and mold
• Improved Indoor Air Quality - Zero VOCs and no buffing means less dust particles and better air quality

Reduce chemical, water and energy waste, while improving indoor air quality

According to the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive, the average building uses more than 1,000 pounds of chemical product for finishing, stripping and restoring every 50,000 square feet of hard-surface floors each year. Of that amount, approximately 19 percent is considered to be hazardous material that is harmful to people and the environment. In most cases, all of that product is stripped from the floors and discarded down the drain.

In addition to the typical amount of chemical waste, conventional floor finishing requires many gallons of water, countless hours of energy to run buffing and stripping machines, and many buffing and stripping pads that become worn out and discarded as solid waste.

While a floor finish or stripper product may be certified as "green" because the harmful toxins and metals have been removed,  the maintenance and care associated with these products is still extremely wasteful and detrimental to the environment.

Buffing and burnishing floor finish to restore the shine and prolong the life creates airborne dust particles that are spread around the building through the air-handling systems. All of the contaminants and dirt that were once just on the floor are now spread to multiple surfaces.

Ultra Durable Floors offers better, environmentally-preferred products and processes for maintaining a high-quality appearance for your floors. The benefits listed above speak for themselves. Ultimately, our systems lead to less waste of water, energy and chemicals. Best of all, they lead to less time spent maintaining floors. Since labor is about 80-90 percent of the cost associated with floor maintenance, implementing our systems means lower costs over time.
