It looks kind of like Murphy puked on the floor at regular intervals. This stuff is Dr. Schutz's amazing floor cordial. It is a tenside polymer bonding agent that forms a protective layer on top of vinyl floors. Bloody expensive too. It is applied undiluted on a floor which is either just put in, or which has been washed and polished three times. Ours is the latter. I washed and polished it three times last night. Strangely, even after the third wash, it looked as though there was (still) a very thin film of dust on the floor. Sven put in the floor in the corridor between the kitchen and the bathroom yesterday, so it was easy to see the difference between a really new floor and a floor which - albeit was washed three times - was a couple of weeks old. I was a bit worried about sealing the floor with Dr. Schutz in case I ended up just creating a sealing layer on top of the dust. It worked out fine though - the downside being nobody can walk in the living room until later today. At least three hours, preferably more.
The result is quite good, I think. I'm still waiting for it to dry, to see what kind of "final finish" it has. In the picture on the right it looks like a high gloss finish, but it isn't really - at least, it shouldn't be. The Dr. Schutz film is still wet. You can kind of make out the direction it will go in, though. Below is one more photo of the living room, with Dr. Schutz applied. I couldn't move the table out, because there is no room in the kitchen (the chairs are in there) and I didn't want to put in on the balcony. On top of that, it is too heavy. I ended up working around it, then moving it. We should soon be able to move in more furniture. The couch won't arrive until mid February, so we'll have to find some way of bridging the next month. The electricity is working now too - ish. There are a couple of problems which need to be looked at.
