Karndean and Amtico are a great alternative to stone, tile, and other types of hard floor. They combine excellent durability with a premium finish. Even though both of these floors are durable, they do require maintenance cleaning to ensure that marks and scratches don’t become permanent.
TileMaster has years of experience in refurbishing Amtico and Karndean floors in homes and businesses. Our specialists use our knowledge and the best equipment available to provide a top quality service.
How to tell if your Karndean or Amtico floors need cleaning
To maintain Karndean or Amtico manufacturers advise that the floors should be swept and dusted regularly. On top of this, occasional professional cleaning will preserve the floor’s bright and shiny appearance. How often you should book a professional clean for your floor will depend on the level of use it gets.
