Description

VinylGuard® Gloss is a vinyl floor sealer built to end the strip and wax cycle. This two-part, water-based polyurethane rolls on like paint and dries to a clear, high-gloss shield over LVT, vinyl plank, sheet vinyl, VCT, rubber, and terrazzo. There is no burnishing and no heavy equipment; once it cures, routine mopping with a mild cleaner keeps the floor looking sharp.

Why Vinyl and Rubber Floors Need a Sealer

Vinyl and rubber floors are porous, so dirt gets trapped and the factory finish wears quickly. A standard acrylic or wax finish in a high-traffic area typically needs stripping and replacing every one to two months. VinylGuard carries two to three times the polymer of a typical wax or acrylic seal, and its two parts cross-link into a much harder, more chemical-resistant coating.

Using VinylGuard on LVP and Vinyl Plank

Newly installed LVP and LVT do not need a primer; just make sure the floor is clean and dry. On existing floors, scrub away dirt with a neutral cleaner, or strip a worn finish with FloorStrip HP, then rinse and let the floor dry. Next, apply PrimeSeal to even out porosity and improve adhesion. Roll VinylGuard on with a 3/8 inch non-shed roller, using a small roller or brush for edges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a primer before applying VinylGuard?

Yes, except on newly installed floors. PrimeSeal evens out porosity and helps VinylGuard bond.

VinylGuard is slip-resistant when dry but can be slippery when wet. Mix in CoverGrip for floors that will be walked on while wet.

How long does a vinyl floor sealer last?

Wax and acrylic finishes in high-traffic areas usually last one to two months; VinylGuard typically lasts about two years.

VinylGuard H/Gloss Photos

VinylGuard® Gloss is a high-performance, water-based polyurethane coating designed to protect and enhance vinyl, rubber, and resilient flooring with a durable, high-gloss finish.
VinylGuard® is designed for luxury vinyl tile (LVT), sheet vinyl, rubber flooring, and similar resilient surfaces. It can also be used on wood terrazzo and concrete. VinylGird is not intended for glazed surfaces like porcelain and ceramic tile.
Yes. Proper preparation is essential for performance and adhesion. All existing finishes must be completely stripped if in poor condition or scrubbed clean with scouring pad and a neutral cleaner like Emerald. After scrubbing and the floor must be rinsed with a damp mop and clean water and then allowed to thoroughly dry before application.
Except for newly installed floors, the use of PrimeSeal® is required prior to the application of VinylGuard®. PrimeSeal is a cost effective fast drying Primer. It evens out the porosity in the floor, enhances adhesion, improves leveling, and significantly reduces labor during any subsequent stripping and recoating processes.
PrimeSeal should be applied with a flat microfiber mop ( https://www.covertecproducts.com/product/18-microfiber-flat-mop-pad/) at a spread rate of approximately 1,200–1,500 sq. ft. per gallon. Allow 20–30 minutes of dry time before applying VinylGuard®.

VinylGuard® is a two-component system:

  • Mix Part A until uniform (about 1 minute).
  • Add Part B and mix for another 2 minutes minute.
  • Allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes and then it is ready to use
    Apply using a roller tray and a 3/8″ non-shed roller, using 4″–6″ rollers for edges. Maintain a wet edge and avoid over-rolling.

One gallon covers approximately 500 – 800 sq. ft. per coat, depending on surface texture and application technique.
Typically, one coat is sufficient. In high-traffic areas, an additional coat may be applied for added durability.
The coating will dry in approximately 6 to 8 hours, depending on temperature, humidity, and airflow. Adequate ventilation is important during curing.
Is the surface slippery after application? When applied correctly, VinylGuard® provides a durable, slip-resistant finish when dry but can still be slippery when wet. If the floor is expected to be walked upon when wet then CoverGrip anti slip additive should be added into the mixture at the time of application (https://www.covertecproducts.com/product/covergrip-anti-slip-additive-for-sealers-and-coatings/).
Routine cleaning with a neutral cleaner is recommended. Our Emerald Floor Maintainer is a good option (https://www.covertecproducts.com/product/emerald-enzyme-cleaner-maintainer/). Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads to maximize coating life.
Yes. VinylGuard® is designed to outperform traditional wax systems by offering greater durability, longer service life, and reduced maintenance.
Yes. Always use chair glides or protective pads on furniture legs, ensure proper airflow during curing, and follow recommended prep and application steps for best results.
