With the advent of double and triple-pane windows, more companies are letting in the sunshine. According to Psychology Today, research has proven that >exposure to natural light improves workplace performance. In addition, utilizing natural light can reduce utility costs, thus increasing your energy efficiency.
But what do you do when your flooring manufacturer instructs you to “Use protective window coverings to block fade-causing UV rays and excessive heat from direct sunlight.”? Do you cover the windows to protect your flooring?
Do you have to choose between natural sunlight and beautiful flooring? Xtreme Engineered Floor Systems says, “No!”
Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun have long been an issue for the flooring industry. Over time, they can cause degradation of flooring materials. In addition to weakening your floors, they can cause discoloration, fading, and yellowing.
However, just like the window industry has developed double and triple-pane windows to allow light to shine in without letting the heat (in the winter) or cool air (in the summer) escape, the flooring industry has improved flooring products as well. While there are still types of flooring that need to be protected from the natural sunlight, Xtreme Engineered Floor Systems is proud to provide our customers with UV resistant and color-stable floor coatings.
V-8 Hybrid XT Floor Coatings are UV resistant
Developed to utilize the unique properties of both polyurea and polyaspartic resins, the Hybrid XT formula is highly UV resistant. It also creates an incredibly strong and durable surface. And when combined with one of Xtreme’s many style options – full vinyl chip, all natural mica flakes, platinum pigment powder, or if you require more traction, double broadcast quartz – the Hybrid XT floor coating is beautiful too.
So, let in the sunshine!
There’s no need to worry about flooring degradation and discoloration with UV resistant flooring from Xtreme Engineered Floor Systems. For more information on how a V-8 Hybrid XT floor coating can be installed at your place of business, call an Xtreme Floor expert today.
