LUXURY VINYL FLOOR CARE - PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT AND REJUVENATE FLOORS WITH EPIC
Looking for a smarter way to maintain luxury vinyl flooring? EPIC® High-Performance Floor Finish is a water-based urethane engineered to protect and enhance today’s vinyl floors. Designed for LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile), LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank), and sheet vinyl, EPIC delivers durable protection, long-lasting performance, and a consistently polished appearance. When it comes to sealing and safeguarding LVT, LVP, and sheet vinyl, there’s simply no better resilient floor finish solution .
FACTORY FINISHES DO NOT LAST!
LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile), LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank), and Sheet Vinyl are flooring products comprised of several layers of artificial materials. Among those layers is the top transparent wear layer, which ranges from 4 to 40 mils in thickness. In some cases, this layer may be coated with a factory-applied finish that is marketed as “no-wax” or “maintenance-free.” Nevertheless, the wear layer will gradually degrade over time due to foot traffic and the movement of furniture. Additionally, because LVT/LVP is highly textured, it can be more difficult to clean and maintain when compared to VCT.
So, you may ask yourself, "Can you seal vinyl plank flooring?" Yes, you can! Regardless of whether it comes with a factory finish, UDT recommends applying EPIC High-Performance Floor Finish to enhance the flooring’s appearance and, more importantly, to protect LVT.
EPIC is Built to Withstand the Toughest Commercial Environments
EPIC isn’t just another resilient floor finish, it’s engineered to perform under pressure. From high-traffic retail spaces and hospitals to schools, airports, and corporate offices, EPIC stands up to daily abuse that quickly wears down ordinary finishes. EPIC’s advanced polymer technology creates a dense, protective film that resists scuffs, scratches, stains, and black heel marks, keeping your floors looking newer, longer.
Over the last 2 decades, EPIC has become the trusted product that helps ensure your sealed vinyl flooring performs as expected throughout its intended lifespan. Want some proof? Read this featured case study to learn about the proven performance of EPIC on LVP, LVT, and sheet vinyl.

LOWER MAINTANANCE COSTS AND RESOURCE USE
Because EPIC eliminates buffing and drastically reduces recoating frequency, facilities can significantly reduce labor and material costs associated with floorcare.
Many facilities see up to 71% savings in annual floor maintenance costs, thanks to reduced labor hours, fewer chemicals, and less equipment use. Over time, those savings can be redirected toward other important building improvements.

PREVENT SLIPS AND FALLS, PLUS ADD ABRASION RESISTANCE
EPIC can also be mixed with our two additives, UDT Ultra Grip and UDT Aggregate Additive. Both offer added slip resistance, especially near entrances. They not only provide much needed traction, but they also protect surfaces by adding abrasion resistance against foot traffic, scuffs, and scratches from furniture and equipment.
SUSTAINABLE FLOORCARE THAT KEEPS FACILITIES RUNNING
EPIC also minimizes operational disruptions. Floors can be ready for foot traffic in as little as four hours, with an optional eight-hour cure schedule available when desired. With recoating needed only every three to five years, facilities experience far fewer maintenance shutdowns compared with traditional wax programs.
This makes EPIC an ideal solution for commercial buildings, retail stores, schools, healthcare facilities, and other high-traffic environments that require reliable, sustainable floor protection.

LUXURY VINYL: THE BASICS
The performance of luxury vinyl flooring is largely defined by the materials used in its construction. Engineered vinyl planks and tiles are manufactured with one of three primary core types:
-
WPC (Wood Plastic Composite)
-
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
-
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite)
WPC and PVC cores provide a softer, more cushioned feel underfoot. In contrast, Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) is the most durable of the three and is commonly referred to as Rigid Core or Engineered Vinyl Tile/Plank (EVT/EVP) flooring. Composed of approximately 70% stone powder and 30% PVC, SPC cores deliver exceptional strength and dimensional stability. This makes them a preferred choice for high-traffic commercial environments, though they offer less flexibility and cushioning underfoot.
