Abstract: The objectives of this study were to determine differences in gloss values among various unpolished and polished resilient floor coverings, hard floor materials, and wood floor finishes; and to compare differences in gloss values (l) among various floor materials, (2) between unpolished and polished floor materials, and (3) among various types of floor polishes. Nine resilient floor coverings were tested under ten surface conditions— unpolished worn condition and after the application of each of nine brands of polish. Seven hard floor materials were investigated under five surface conditions—unpolished new and worn conditions and after the application of each of three kinds of polish. Seven wood floor finishes were applied to red and white oak. These finishes were tested in unpolished new and worn conditions and after the application of each of four types of polish. Gloss measurements were obtained on each material in each surface condition with the Sixty Degree Gardner Portable Glossmeter. Gloss data obtained from the investigations were subjected to an analysis of variance.
