Dull VCT Floors Peachtree Corners: What To Do

By the DBS Cleaning Services Team · · 6 min read

Technology Park Atlanta is the largest office and flex park in Gwinnett, and it holds an enormous amount of hard floor across roughly five hundred companies. Some of it is tile. A lot of it is sealed concrete. Telling them apart is the first real decision. Dull VCT floors Peachtree Corners tenants want fixed usually can be fixed for very little, because the tile below the coating is intact. But applying a wax program to a warehouse slab that only needed scrubbing is money burned. We are five minutes up Peachtree Parkway from these buildings, so we would rather come look than guess from a floor plan.

Half your square footage probably is not tile

In a typical flex suite the office end is VCT and the warehouse end is sealed or polished concrete. Concrete does not want finish. It wants an autoscrubber on a sensible frequency and a protective treatment if it is polished.

Putting wax on a slab that takes pallet jacks creates a film that fails in tracks within weeks. Then somebody pays to remove it. Scrubbing costs less and lasts longer, which is a rare combination.

The office side: dull VCT floors Peachtree Corners suites live with

Here the story is the usual one. Finish worn through where people walk from the door to the break room, and built up thick along every wall and under every desk run.

Once that gap is wide enough, no maintenance routine closes it. The floor needs to be taken back to tile and rebuilt evenly, and after that a burnish rhythm keeps it there.

A recoat rhythm beats an annual strip

A lot of buildings strip everything once a year because nobody put a maintenance plan in place. That is the expensive way round, and every strip takes a little more off the tile surface.

Scrub and recoat on a regular cycle, with burnishing in between, keeps the finish topped up so a full strip becomes rare. The floor looks better all year and the tile lasts longer.

Frequency guidance and realistic production rates from ISSA are a good reference if you want to sanity-check what a vendor says a night crew can cover.

Most commercial cleaning gets sold on price per square foot, then quietly handed to whoever was cheapest and free that night. That’s why quality slides after month two — the scope was never real to begin with. We build yours from an actual walkthrough of your actual building, on your actual hours. Then we send the same crew who learned it. Boring? Completely. It’s also the only thing that makes month five look like month one.

Local enough to actually show up

Our office is on River Exchange Drive, minutes from the Forum and Town Center and the Curiosity Lab route. That proximity is not a marketing line. It means a machine problem at one in the morning gets solved, not rescheduled.

It also means a same-week walkthrough. Holcomb Bridge Road traffic is the only thing standing between us and your loading dock, and even that gives up by nine at night.

Frequently asked questions

Should we wax our warehouse concrete?

No. Sealed concrete is scrubbed, and polished concrete is protected with a densifier and guard. Wax on a slab fails in the traffic tracks.

Can one plan cover office and warehouse?

Yes, but as two different programs under one schedule. The tile gets a finish cycle and the concrete gets a scrub cycle.

Is an annual strip normal?

It is common, but it usually means nobody set up maintenance. A recoat and burnish rhythm is easier on the tile and costs less over time.

How fast can you get here?

About five minutes. We are based in Norcross, just off Peachtree Parkway from Technology Park.
