Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What is the pricing structure for sealing my grout?
- A: Tile Cleaners® use a per square meter pricing system for grout sealing. You can find the price list on the Tile Cleaners® website for your reference. Prior to starting the work, we will measure the area, discuss the specific details of the job, and provide you with a confirmed cost estimate.
- Q: Can I seal just the grout lines if my tiles cannot be sealed?
- A: Yes you can and it is recommended to seal your grout lines especially if they are a light colour, this will save you the likely cost of having to regrout your tiles only a few years after installation.
- Q: What is grout?
- A: Grout is a construction material used to fill and seal the gaps between tiles or concrete surfaces. It is typically composed of a mixture of cement, water, sand, and sometimes additives for color or improved performance. After tiles are installed, grout is applied to the gaps between them, and any excess grout is wiped away. Over time, the liquid grout hardens and provides stability and a finished look to the tiled surface.
- Q: Does the sealing process make the grout water-resistant?
- A: Sealing is not a waterproofing solution. If you are experiencing waterproofing issues, such as leaks on balconies, simply sealing the grout will not solve the problem. In such cases, a more comprehensive solution like regrouting may be necessary.
- Q: What is the usual lifespan of the sealer before it requires reapplication?
- A: The lifespan of a sealer before reapplication is influenced by the type of sealer used. Topical sealers typically provide protection for approximately 3 years before requiring reapplication. In contrast, impregnating sealers are more durable and can last up to 15 years or even a lifetime when applied to vertical surfaces. However, areas with high foot traffic or frequent use may necessitate more frequent inspections and resealing to ensure ongoing protection. Conducting a water absorption test can help assess the porosity of the surface and aid in selecting a sealer with longer-lasting durability. It is advisable to refer to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer and consult professionals to determine the specific reapplication schedule suitable for your tiles and grout.
