Other FAQs :

• Q: What is the difference between honing and grinding?
• A: Grinding refers to the removal of large amounts of material from the surface of the stone. Grinding is used to remove deep scratches and staining as well as lippage(uneven surface) thereby smoothing out the surface of the area making it uniform. Honing is the smoothing of the stone, not as aggressive as grinding and removes very little material from the stone, giving a matte(not glossy as with polishing) look to the surface.
• Q: Is the Grinding Process Safe?
• A: The grinding process used by Tile Cleaners® technicians is completely safe, not only for your family but for the surrounding areas of your property. The utmost care is taken by our professionals to protect walls and skirting boards as well as all other items in the work area. Excess slurry, dust and debris is extracted as we go, whilst non-toxic sealers are used to finish off the stone. Tile Cleaners® prides itself for catering for each tile type in the safest most hygienic way.
• Q: What is the typical process for measuring the size of the area in floor sealing services?
• A: When measuring the size of an area for floor sealing services, it is typically done by measuring each section individually. The process involves multiplying the width by the length of each section to calculate the area. For example, if a room has dimensions of 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area can be determined by multiplying 3 meters by 2 meters, resulting in a total of 6 square meters. This method ensures accurate measurement and calculation of the area size for proper pricing and service planning.
• Q: Is grinding my bluestone a messy process?
• A: Most of our procedures use water in order to minimise dust production. Grinding will create a slurry, however by employing state-of-the-art equipment and by extracting as we work, once finished your surfaces will be left in their best possible condition.
• Q: Will grinding remove the sealer from my bluestone?
• A: Yes, the mechanical resurfacing process used to grind your floors will remove all coatings, resulting in your floors being in an "as new" condition. Once honed or polished, you should reseal your surfaces with a deep penetrating, impregnating sealer, which avoids staining and will reduce the effect of soiling.
