Why Choose a Matte Finish Vinyl Tile Sealer — and Why VinylGuard® Matte Stands Out
Applying a sealer like VinylGuard® Matte to vinyl tile, LVT, or LVP improves appearance, durability, safety, and maintenance. See below for the benefits of matte sealers versus glossy or waxed finishes, and tips on caring for matte vinyl floors with VinylGuard® Matte and Emerald Enzyme Cleaner & Maintainer.
Glossy / Acrylic Wax Finish vs Matte Urethane Sealer: A Comparison
| Feature | Acrylic Floor Wax / Gloss Finish | Matte Urethane Sealer (VinylGuard® Matte) |
|---|---|---|
| Sheen / Appearance | High gloss, shiny but may appear plastic-like or overly reflective. | Low glare, natural appearance, hides imperfections better. |
| Glare and Light Reflection | Intense glare under lighting; highlights blemishes and dust. | Minimizes reflection; ideal for bright or high-traffic spaces. |
| Wear Patterns & Scuffs | Scratches and heel marks are very visible over time. | Conceals wear; maintains even appearance longer. |
| Slip Resistance | Can be slippery, especially when wet or dusty. | Higher traction; slip-resistant for safety in moist conditions. |
| Durability & Resistance | Less chemical/UV resistant; requires frequent re-coating. | Excellent abrasion, chemical, and UV resistance. |
| Maintenance Frequency | Requires regular stripping, buffing, and re-waxing. | Low maintenance; re-application needed much less often. |
Why VinylGuard® Matte is a Superior Vinyl Tile Sealer
- Water-based polyurethane formula – low VOCs, easy application.
- Matte finish – hides wear and enhances natural aesthetics.
- Slip-resistant – improves safety, especially in wet conditions.
- Clear protective shield across floor
- UV stable – won’t yellow or degrade in sunlight.
- High abrasion and chemical resistance – protects against spills, stains, and daily wear.
- Eliminates the need for regular stripping and re-waxing.
Top Benefits of a Matte Floor Finish
- Low glare: Easier on the eyes and better for high-light areas.
- Disguises imperfections: Scratches, scuffs, and footprints are less visible.
- Better traction: Matte textures improve slip resistance.
- Natural look: Preserves the intended design of wood-look or stone-look vinyl.
Drawbacks of Acrylic Floor Wax
- Requires frequent reapplication and buffing.
- Can yellow over time, especially in UV exposure.
- Build-up of wax may trap dirt and make floors slippery.
- More costly in labor and materials over time.

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. - See this video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHhBsEs-D3A
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.
