Gym Floor Refinishing Using the Water Scrub Method

If you have a gym floor that's worn out, there are some things you can do to restore the original finish and add new life. Gymnasium floors are high traffic areas that often need a little work to stay attractive and durable. There are a variety of methods you can use, including the water scrub method. Read on to find out how you can use this method for your gym floor refinishing project.

The first thing you'll need to do is set up Wet Floor signs and prepare the floor. Sweep and mop the floor thoroughly to get rid of dust and dirt. When the floor is dry, you're ready to begin.

Scrub the floor with gym floor cleaning concentrate using a scrubbing pad made from synthetic fibers. Vacuum this product up immediately with a wet vac -- do not allow it to remain on the floor. When scrubbing the floor, be sure not to use excess water, which can cause warping. Next, rinse off the floor and allow it to dry for 24 hours.

Then, it's time to sand the floor with 120-grit sandpaper. Vacuum all grit away, then use a tack rag at least two times on the entire floor. Remove all fine dust from the floor before continuing on with the process.

Next, it's time to apply the gym floor finish. Choose a finish that's specially designed for gymnasium floors. Use a lambs wool applicator for the best results, and use one to three coats, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly before moving on to the next one. Between coats, be sure to buff with 120-grit sander. After applying the last coat, vacuum and use a tack rag.

It's a good idea to allow at least three days for the floor to set before allowing traffic to resume. If you work carefully and follow all directions on the products you use, you can have a beautiful gym floor that everyone thinks is brand new. If gym floor refinishing is not in your repitoire, there are many professional companies who can perform the service for you in a matter of days.
