Colorex restauration & repair

Deep scratches, holes, burns or other surface damage can be easily and effectively repaired, without leaving any visible trace or affecting the original characteristics of the floor. This genuine, 100% repairable surface is unique to Colorex EC and Colorex SD and something that no other flooring system can promise.

Invisible repairs

Deep scratches and other serious damage can be repaired by heat welding. A small strip of Colorex of the same colour should be welded directly into the damage using a hand welding machine. After the excess material has been trimmed off, the repaired spot can be restored to a good- as-new condition by sanding and dry polishing.
