Concrete Cleaning, Polishing and Dyeing    

 
FSI can clean, polish or dye almost any structurally sound concrete floor, whether new or old, using IICRC approved methods and technicians.  
 
For new floors, a special mix design is required and fantastic results can be achieved rather quickly. However, the floor should be in place at least 28 days before polishing begins to ensure adequate curing. Existing floors typically require some surface preparation prior to polishing to remove dirt, grease, coatings or blemishes. However, floors that are wavy, need extensive patching or are extremely porous, may not be good candidates for polishing. FSI can usually determine a floor's suitability with a site visit of your location.
 

Dyes can be applied in a variety of ways, depending on the results you want to achieve and the size of the job. With every job being different, FSI may spray it, roll it, or brush it on as there are many different ways to apply dyes but regardless of the technique used, it is important for FSI to test the concrete surface for acceptance of the dye before application. The degree of penetration and intensity of color will vary depending on the application method used, age of the concrete, porosity of the concrete, cleanliness of the surface and other general conditions. Unfortunately, some surfaces may not even accept the dye, particularly if they are dense and nonporous.
 
Hard Surface Cleaning (VCT, Ceramic, Marble, Wood, etc)  
 
Even if your floor is old, FSI can still help it look like new
 
Through warehouse, field research and extensive hands-on experience, we've developed numerous programs and regimens to care for VCT, Ceramic, Marble, Wood and many other floor surfaces using IICRC approved methods and technicians.
 
Hard-surface floor care includes, but may not be limited to:
  • VCT cleaning, stripping and sealing
  • Cleaning of Ceramic and Ceramic Grout lines
  • Marble cleaning and polishing
  • Wood "screen and recoat" OR full sanding and finish
  • Many other hard surfaces using IICRC methods and technicians

We know that carpet is a reflection of your business and it can also be one of your largest investments. 
 
Our carpet maintenance programs remove spots and spills, keep soil from accumulating and lift carpet fiber for a plush, clean appearance, ultimately extending the life of your carpet investment.  Clean and well maintained flooring provides and enhanced image, a safer and healthier environment for your empoyees and guests, and extends the life of your floor.  Most flooring manufacturers requre ongoing maintenance programs in order for their warranty to be valid.
 
We also adhere to the standards of The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI).  The IICRC monitors, educates, tests and annually certifies individual technicians as well as firms.  FSI is proud to achieve annual certified firm status and employe certified technicians to perform cleaning and maintenance.  The CRI tests products, equipment and methods used for flooring maintenance and grants approval to those that minimize toxic waste, global warming and ozone deplection.  FSI uses CRI approved methods and chemicals.
