Other FAQs :
- Q: Will sealing my sandstone prevent efflorescence?
- A: Efflorescence is a problem that sandstone and most porous tiles can face. It's the tendency of the water in the sandstone to bring salts from the stone to the surface as it evaporates. The water evaporates leaving the salts on the surface resulting in a whitish coating and ruining its finish. The only way to avoid this problem is to seal your sandstone tiles with one of our highest quality water resistant sealer's and to stop the source of the water that is penetrating the tiles, for example a water pipe leak or damaged grout.

- A: Sandstone floors can damage easily, any oily or harsh spills can damage the sandstone tiles and penetrate the pores leaving a permanent stain, unreachable by domestic cleaning methods.

- Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a sandstone area?
- A: We advise measuring each sandstone area individually. The easiest method is to multiply the width by the length of the area. 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 6 square meters.
