RETHINK RENEW, UPGRADE – Extending the Life of Resilient Floors

Bona Resilient Solution offers an innovative and sustainable way to renew and protect semi-hard floor surfaces such as linoleum, LVT, rubber, and vinyl—without the need for replacement. The system allows facility managers to refresh both the performance and appearance of existing floors, saving time, cost, and resources.

Challenge

High-traffic environments such as schools, hospitals, and commercial facilities often face heavy wear and surface damage. Traditional refurbishment typically involves full floor replacement—an approach that is costly, time-consuming, and environmentally demanding.

Solution

Using Bona Resilient Solution, worn floors can be deep-cleaned, recoated, or even completely redesigned with new colors and effects. The treatment enhances surface durability and provides long-term protection, all within a few hours of application—at up to 50% lower cost than full replacement.

Results

The restored floors achieved a like-new appearance with improved resistance to wear and chemicals, significantly extending their service life. The quick turnaround minimized downtime, enabling facilities to return to normal operations almost immediately.

Sustainability Impact

In a co-funded research project with IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, Bona conducted a life cycle analysis (LCA) comparing the environmental impact of floor renovation versus new installation. The findings confirmed that renovation with Bona Resilient Solution dramatically reduces both carbon footprint and material waste.
