Advances in material science have made waxing tile an expensive, unnecessary, and environmentally-unfriendly process. The good news is we can save you money while delivering amazing results.

Waxing Your Floors

  • Scuffing – Immediately after waxing, floors are scuffed by each rubber soled shoe dragged across it. You can either live with the scuffs or spend money having someone walk around with a tennis ball on a stick rubbing scuff marks out
  • Yellowing – Waxes tend to yellow with age as dirt is ground into their soft surface.
  • Buffing – Constant buffing is required to maintain that glossy appearance.
  • Stripping – Requires intensive labor, chemical solvent use, and material disposal.
  • Disinfection Incompatibility – Wax surfaces can be disrupted by many disinfectants resulting in a need for increased dry buffing, but as dry buffing blows dust and debris on the floor back into the air where it can be inhaled, dry buffing has become a concerning practice in its own right.

MARBLELIFE has a variety of solutions engineered based on the floor surface. They may look like a 1960’s wax finish but this is a 21st Century polymer chemistry.

MARBLELIFE uses silicon based high durability coating technology based on chemistry first developed by NASA for rocket re-entry applications. MARBLELIFE TileLOK applies this advanced know-how to durable floor protection to yield a ceramic re-glazing system second to none.





MARBLELIFE offers a variety of durable 21st Century polymer Technology to replace old school wax with superior performance and cost benefits.

CASE STUDY: University of Florida (UF) treated 170,000sq-ft of high-traffic dorm floors with TileLOK® and reported savings of over ,000 per year in maintenance costs alone versus the use of waxes. For the first time, UF could release their maintenance staff during the winter holidays, a time traditionally reserved for their stripping and waxing.
