Floor Burnisher Benefits & Highlights
A floor burnisher is used to polish and add a high-gloss finish to floors, especially on hard surfaces like VCT (vinyl composite tile) or terrazzo. It operates at high speeds to create a smooth, reflective surface by applying friction and heat. Floor burnishers will reduce labor and save time while enhancing floor appearance.
- Finish: High-gloss or “wet look” finish
- Speed: 1,000-3,000 RPMs
- Types: Walk-behind or Ride-On burnishers, corded or battery-operated
