Safety Floor Scuff Protection

[Mike Lamond]

Guys, I recently cleaned the safety floor in a changing room at a local football club using STS. 3 x coats of high gloss sealer was then applied. The 23yr old floor came up like new. Unfortunately following a recent home game the players studs has created scuffs. Is there a treatment out there that would stand up to this type of traffic. I doubt anything exists tho.

Technically not wrong but I def wouldn't be sealing safety flooring. It's pretty bombproof just needs correct/daily maintenance plan instilled. Our club doesn't allow boots on in changing rooms. Other than rubber matting over top high traffic areas you won't stop scuff marks on pretty much any floor other than stone.

NEVER seal a safety floor if you do you have lost all the benefits of it being slip resistant and the seal won't last 5 minutes, a complete waste of time. they should only ever be cleaned

if anything I reckon the addition of seal has only amplified the likelihood of scuffs appearing as there is now more contact area for studs so the friction takes rubber off. I reckon remove the seal and see how they go from there.

Cheers lads, thankfully I am only responsible for the cleaning using STS. The kitman thought he would attempt to bring a bit of shine back. I did explain that I doubted there was any product that would last with that type of foot traffic.

More money coming your way then for stripping it off again.
