Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What can I anticipate in terms of the process when you arrive to re-seal my marble floors? - Marble | Tile and Grout Sealing

• A: When our professional team arrives to re-seal your marble floors, they will provide you with a detailed explanation of the job processes. The process begins by stripping any previous sealer, if applied, followed by a thorough cleaning and neutralization of the marble surface. This ensures that the floor is free from dust, residue, and any other factors that may affect the new sealer's effectiveness. Once the marble floor is dry, a fresh layer of sealer is applied and allowed to set. The re-sealed marble floor will not only regain its new-like appearance but also benefit from enhanced protection, making it easier to maintain in the long run.

Other FAQs :

• Q: What are the potential consequences of not sealing marble floors?
• A: Neglecting to seal marble floors can leave them vulnerable to damage. Spills containing oils or harsh substances have the potential to penetrate the porous surface of the marble, resulting in permanent stains that cannot be effectively removed through regular domestic cleaning methods. It is highly advisable to seal your marble tiles to preserve their natural appearance, protect them from permanent staining, and prevent accidental damage in the future. By sealing your marble floors, you can extend their longevity, maintain their pristine condition, and facilitate easier and more convenient maintenance.
• Q: What is the estimated time required to reseal my marble floors?
• A: The duration of resealing your marble floors varies depending on the size of the area being sealed. Typically, most jobs can be completed within 4 to 8 hours. To ensure convenience, we perform both the cleaning and resealing on the same day, eliminating the need for multiple appointments.
• Q: What type of sealer is applied to marble tiles, and does it have any impact on the texture of the tiles?
• A: The sealer used for marble tiles is exclusively water-based in all our applications, except in specific situations where solvent-based sealer becomes necessary. Rest assured that the sealer will not alter the texture of your marble tiles in any manner. Its primary function is to safeguard your marble from stains while preserving the desired natural and radiant appearance you desire.
• Q: How often should marble floors be sealed according to the recommended frequency?
• A: The recommended frequency for sealing marble floors depends on various factors, including the type of sealer used and the level of foot traffic the tiles experience. In Australia, the Deepshield® range offers deep impregnating water-based sealers, with Deepshield Gold® specifically designed for denser materials like marble and granite, providing protection for up to 15 years. Topical sealers typically last around 3 years. However, if your marble floors endure heavy foot traffic or are exposed to severe weather conditions (in the case of outdoor tiles), the lifespan of the sealer may be shorter. It is also important to consider the condition of the tiles. If you notice patchy areas and an increased susceptibility to staining, it may indicate that resealing is necessary. For further inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact our team, who will be delighted to assist you.
• Q: What steps should I take to prepare my marble floors before the sealing process?
• A: Before our arrival, it is important to remove all furniture and items from your marble floors. This preparation ensures that the floors are clear and ready for the sealing process when we begin our work.
