Host a Reflections Seminar

Reflections Products

Seeing is believing when it comes to picking the right products for maintaining a wood floor. With the Buckeye Reflections® Wood Floor Program you can host a wood floor seminar at your facility. First, contact your local Buckeye representative to set the date and time. At the seminar you’ll receive hands-on training with the products, procedures, and equipment needed to keep your wood floor looking its best. After the seminar, you’ll meet with your Buckeye representative to discuss results and feedback. You’ll complete the program by picking the products that meet your facility’s specific needs.

Failure to keep up with yearly maintenance can decrease the lifespan of a refinished floor or replacement floor by as much as 30%. The Reflections Wood Floor Program is complete with tools and training, including the the Reflections Maintenance wall chart, to keep your wood floors clean. This wall chart includes daily, weekly, and as-needed procedures. It can easily be posted in janitorial closets where wood floor maintenance equipment and supplies are kept. The Reflections Maintenance training video is also a valuable tool for all employees. The video covers topics ranging from vacuuming mats to burnishing floors.

The Reflections Wood Floor Program is built around meeting and exceeding tough environmental regulations. The Reflections wood floor coatings meet strict VOC regulations and are single component, 100% urethane products. This improves indoor air quality and is safer for employees to use, while eliminating mixing mistakes and reducing overall costs.

Gloss Retention Procedures

Gloss Retention Procedures

Gloss retention is reliant on the equipment being used. The operation of the autoscrubber and burnisher, the dust mop, and the selection of the proper cleaner, can all impact the longevity of a floor care program. An important factor to consider is the variables between staff and the technique used to apply floor finishes.

For example, let’s say that there are three different cleaning staff members applying the same floor finish. The first one applies the coats very thin. At the end of the day there are only two coats, instead of six coats applied. Each of the coats covered at 6,000 square feet per gallon, producing a very thin coat. The second person applies medium coats, each at 1,500 – 2,000 square feet per gallon. This results in better looking floors for a longer amount of time. The third person applies heavy coats, each at 800 – 1,000 square feet per gallon. Since the coats are so heavy they take a very long time to dry tack-free. The residual moisture and solvents in floor finishes can take months to fully evaporate out of the film. This extremely long time to cure means an unusually soft coating that doesn’t wear well.

Even though each person used the same floor finish, they each ended up getting different results. The Buckeye® Floor Care Program includes a comprehensive training program for your staff to ensure the products are being used correctly and efficiently. The program can be tailored to meet your specific needs and Buckeye is dedicated to providing the most extensive customer support.

Indoor Air Quality
