METHODS FOR PROVIDING GLOSSY SURFACES
A method for treating a surface of a substrate includes applying a composition that includes a silicate to the surface and, while the composition is present on the surface, providing the surface with a glossy finish (e.g., polishing the surface, burnishing the surface, etc.). The silicate may be a lithium silicate and/or a colloidal silica. The composition may further include one or more of a surfactant, a leveling agent, a silane coupling agent, an organic component (e.g., a siliconate, etc.), and an acrylic latex. When the composition is applied to the surface of the flooring, gravity may enable it to spread substantially evenly across the surface. The acts of applying and providing the surface with a glossy finish may be repeated. Such a treatment may result in a surface that has a glossiness of at least 80, as measured by a gloss meter set to a 60° angle of incidence.
