How can you avoid scratches in your Floorify rigid vinyl floor?

All Floorify rigid vinyl floors have an innovative PU top layer and protective layer (0.55 mm) that is highly resistant to scratches , but not entirely scratch-free. The floor may begin to exhibit scratches from use over time. These scratches will not, however, have a negative impact on the functionality of the floor. The floor will remain water-resistant and the scratch will not discolour.

It is important to take some preventive measures:

TIP 1: PROVIDE A CLEANING MAT

Prevent the ingress of dirt, water and sand by using an appropriate cleaning mat that is sufficiently large. The mat should not have a rubber back. Lay a mat at every entrance to your home. This will help to prevent damage as well as make it easier to maintain your Floorify floor, and extend its service life.

TIP 2: USE PROTECTIVE CAPS ON FURNITURE

Attach suitable protective caps to the bottom of your furniture. Don’t use cheap caps, but choose high-quality, softer caps. Clean them regularly and replace them if they start to accumulate dirt or wear. Make sure that felt pads do not become wet—if they do, they will start to absorb dirt particles and begin to act like sand paper.

TIP 3: RAISE HEAVY OBJECTS

Never drag heavy objects or furniture over the floor, raise them instead.

TIP 4: FIT SOFT WHEELS TO MOBILE FURNITURE

You must use soft wheels on a hard floor like Floorify. Fit wide, soft wheels to all mobile furniture (check with the supplier, if necessary). Make sure that the wheels are not made of rubber and that they are not so narrow that they exert point loads on the floor. You can also place a (non-rubber) protective mat under chairs and furniture.

TIP 5: USE A SUITABLE MAINTENANCE PRODUCT

Clean your floor with a maintenance product suitable for PVC floors, such as our cleaning product Conny. You can use Conny Turbo for intensive cleaning. Use Conny Care to extend the life of the floor and make scratches, stripes and natural aging less visible. An unsuitable product could damage the upper coating, causing the product to lose its protection.
