How to Refurbish Existing LVT and VCT using MAPEI’s Ultracoat ReNewIt System of Products - Ultracoat ReNewIt system of products can be used to refurbish and renew existing LVT and VCT flooring. The process removes existing finishes and debris from the surface, ensures a clean and pristine surface, and primes the existing flooring making it suitable for the addition of a coating of a two-part, aliphatic, polyurethane coating. This process not only revitalizes worn surfaces but seals joints creating a hermetic seal preventing liquids from penetrating through to the substrate.
