Why is this important?
There is no way around it, stripping and waxing floors is a labor-intensive process, but choosing the right machine for the job shouldn’t be! Floor stripping machines come in every shape and size. This simple guide will help you choose the right machine the FIRST time.
Should I invest in a Propane or Electric Powered Strip Machine?
Propane floor strippers provide optimal efficiency as they are both fast and economical! However, before purchasing a propane strip machine, you must consider the ventilation of the area you will be working in. Propane Strip Machines require a well-ventilated space for safe operation. Electric Strip Machines are perfect for areas that have little ventilation.
What size strip machine is best?
Floor Stripping Machines come in many different sizes. Start by determining the size of the area you need to strip. Some machines are designed for small areas, while others are designed to handle larger areas. You will also need to take into consideration the size of doorways and other hurdles that could keep your machine from completing the job properly.
Do all floor stripping machines work on every type of flooring?
It is very important to know the specific types of flooring you will be working with because some floor stripping machines are designed for specific types of flooring. So if you use only one machine for every type of flooring out there, you may not get the best results. Knowing the condition of the flooring is also important.
Should I get a machine with all the bells and whistles?
That depends on what you’re looking for, but generally speaking: simpler is better. The last thing you want is to waste time trying to figure out a complicated machine. However, performance rating is something you definitely want to pay attention to. If you need a machine that can strip a large area quickly, you’ll want to look at machines that have a high-performance rating. However, if you will be stripping small areas, a lower performance rating will be more suitable
