Frequently Asked Questions
- A: When our professional team arrives to seal your granite floors, they will provide a detailed explanation of the job processes, ensuring complete transparency. The process begins with stripping any previous sealer, if present, followed by a thorough cleaning and neutralization of the granite surface. This step is crucial to remove dust, residue, and any other substances that could impact the effectiveness of the new sealer. Subsequently, a fresh sealer is applied to the dry granite and allowed to set. The outcome of this process is revitalized granite that not only looks new but also gains enhanced protection. Additionally, the sealed granite surfaces become easier to maintain, contributing to their long-term durability and appearance.

Other FAQs :
- Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a granite area?
- A: To accurately measure the size of a granite area, it is recommended to measure each area individually. The most straightforward method is to multiply the width of the area by its length. For instance, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 multiplied by 2, resulting in a total of 6 square meters. By measuring each granite area separately and calculating the total square meters, you can ensure precise measurements for accurate pricing and planning purposes.
- Q: What is the expected drying time for granite tiles after the resealing process?
- A: After the resealing process, the drying time for granite tiles depends on the type of sealer used. Penetrating sealers typically become touch dry within 4 hours, while it takes approximately 24 hours for the sealer to fully cure. Once the sealer has fully cured, it is safe to place furniture and other objects back onto the tiles and grout. It is important to avoid getting the surfaces wet for at least 24 hours to allow proper curing. In the case of topical sealers, they generally require around 48 hours to fully cure before normal activities can resume. These drying times ensure the optimal effectiveness and longevity of the sealant on your granite tiles.
- Q: What is the optimal timing for sealing granite floors, and how can I determine if my granite floors currently require sealing?
- A: The ideal moment to seal your granite floors is right after their installation, as this helps prevent any potential accidental staining or damage. If you observe patchy sealed areas on your granite tiles or notice that they are becoming more prone to staining, these are clear indications that your granite floors are in need of sealing. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure the long-term protection and beauty of your granite floors.
- Q: What does the process of stripping and sealing granite tiles entail?
- A: The process of stripping and sealing granite tiles involves removing the existing coating or sealer from the surface of the granite floor before applying a new sealant. Over time, granite flooring can become dull and lose its luster, which can negatively impact the overall aesthetics of the home. By undergoing the stripping and sealing process, you have the opportunity to restore the beautiful and radiant appearance of your granite tiles, effectively rejuvenating the flooring. This approach can save you the expense of replacing the entire flooring and instead breathe new life into your existing granite tiles.
