✨Floor Burnishers 101: Corded vs. Propane, Dust Control & Dual-Speed Machines
Achieving a brilliant, high-gloss finish on your floors requires the right equipment. Floor burnishers are essential tools for maintaining polished surfaces in commercial settings. In this guide, we'll explore the differences between corded and propane burnishers, the importance of dust control, and the benefits of dual-speed machines.
✔ Corded Electric Burnishers
Corded electric burnishers are ideal for facilities with consistent power access. They offer:
-
Consistent power – no need to refuel
-
Lower emissions – suitable for indoor use

✔ Propane Burnishers
For large areas without easy access to power outlets, propane burnishers provide more flexibility. Benefits include:
-
Full mobility – no cord restrictions
-
Higher power – faster polishing with high RPM
-
Extended use – long runtime between refueling

✔ Importance of Dust Control
High-speed burnishing can produce fine dust from floor finish buildup. Without dust control, it spreads through the air and settles on surrounding surfaces.
-
Helps maintain indoor air quality
-
Reduces post-burnish cleanup
-
Keeps polished floors looking better longer
Many of our models feature dust skirts or vacuum ports for better containment.
✔ Dual-Speed Floor Machines
If you want one machine for both scrubbing and polishing, a dual-speed floor machine may be the best fit.
-
175 RPM (low) for scrubbing
-
300+ RPM (high) for light polishing
-
Ideal for multi-use commercial buildings
