Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What can one expect during the floor sealing process when professionals arrive?
• A: When our professional team arrives to seal your floors, you can expect a thorough and transparent process. We will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the entire process, ensuring effective communication. The sealing process typically begins with the potential removal of any previous sealer, if necessary. The floor will then undergo meticulous cleaning and neutralization to eliminate dust, residues, and other substances that could affect the performance of the new sealer. Afterward, a fresh layer of sealer will be applied, allowing sufficient time for it to set and cure properly. This will restore your floors to their original appearance while providing enhanced protection. Additionally, the sealed floor will be easier to maintain, reducing the effort required for routine cleaning and upkeep.
• Q: Which type of sealer is recommended for tiles?
• A: When selecting a sealer for tiles, it is crucial to consider factors such as the type of tile, its porosity, surface finish, and intended usage. Different tiles have varying levels of porosity and maintenance requirements. To ensure compatibility and provide optimal protection, it is important to take these factors into consideration when choosing a sealer. Seeking advice from professionals or tile sealing experts can help determine the most suitable sealer for your specific tile type and the conditions in which it will be used.
• Q: Can all types of tiles be sealed?
• A: Sealing requirements for different types of tiles can vary. In the case of ceramic or porcelain tiles, sealing is usually not necessary, but it's advisable to consult the manufacturer's guidelines for any specific recommendations. On the other hand, natural stone tiles like slate, marble, granite, or travertine typically require sealing due to their porous nature. Without proper sealing, these types of tiles can readily absorb liquids and become susceptible to stains. Therefore, it is important to consider the specific tile material when determining whether sealing is necessary for optimal protection and maintenance.
• Q: How can I assess whether my stone surface has been adequately sealed?
• A: You can determine if your stone surface has been effectively sealed by conducting a water test. Pour a small amount of water onto the surface and observe its behavior. If the water is quickly absorbed into the surface, it indicates that the surface requires sealing as it is not adequately protected. However, if the water forms into small beads and remains on the surface without being absorbed, it suggests that the surface has been properly sealed and the sealer is providing the desired level of protection. This simple water test can help you assess the effectiveness of the seal and determine if any resealing is necessary to maintain the surface's protection and appearance.
• Q: Does sealing provide a guarantee that my surfaces will remain free from stains?
• A: While sealing surfaces can provide a level of protection and allow for more time to clean up spills before staining occurs, it does not guarantee that surfaces will remain completely free from stains. Sealing creates a barrier that slows down the absorption of spills, giving you more time to clean or wipe them before staining sets in. However, prompt and proper cleaning of spills and dirt is still necessary to prevent potential staining. The effectiveness of sealing in stain prevention also depends on the type of sealer used, the porosity of the surface, and the nature of the substance causing the stain.
