Other FAQs :
- Q: What are the indicators or signs that suggest my sandstone floors are in need of sealing?
- A: To determine if your sandstone floors require sealing, Tile Cleaning recommends conducting a simple "water test." This widely-used method in the stone industry can help assess the need for sealing. Start by placing a few drops of water on the stone surface and allowing it to sit for approximately 10 to 30 minutes. Afterwards, wipe the water dry. If your sandstone did not darken during this process, it indicates that your floors are adequately sealed and do not require additional sealing. However, if the water droplets caused darkening or were absorbed by the stone, it signifies that your sandstone is susceptible to water penetration, indicating the need for sealing.
- Q: What is the estimated drying time for sandstone tiles after they have been sealed?
- A: After the sandstone tiles have been sealed, they typically take around 4 hours to become touch dry. However, it is important to note that the sealer requires approximately 24 hours to fully cure. During this curing period, it is recommended to avoid placing any heavy objects, such as furniture, on the tiles or grout. To ensure the best results and longevity of the seal, it is advised to wait at least 24 hours before placing any items back onto the sealed sandstone tiles.
- Q: Which sealer is recommended for sealing sandstone pavers around a pool area?
- A: When it comes to sealing sandstone pavers around a pool area, we highly recommend our premium Impregnating Penetrating Water Based Sealer. This high-quality sealer is specifically designed to provide comprehensive protection to your sandstone pavers, penetrating deep into the stone to shield it from potential damage. Additionally, this sealer eliminates the slipperiness that can be associated with other sealers, ensuring a safer surface for walking on the sandstone pavers. Trust our Impregnating Penetrating Water Based Sealer to effectively safeguard your sandstone pavers while preserving their natural beauty.
- Q: What does the term "sealer" refer to?
- A: When we talk about a "sealer," we are referring to a liquid or carrier that contains a resin. This substance is applied to porous surfaces, whether they are natural stone or man-made materials. The primary function of a sealer is to provide protection against staining caused by water and/or oil-based materials. By applying the sealer, you can prevent these substances from penetrating and staining the surface. Additionally, a sealer can enhance the overall cleaning results by making it easier to clean and maintain the surfaces effectively.
- Q: Can sealing my sandstone floors conceal scratches and etches on the surface?
- A: While Tile Cleaners®'s color enhancing sealer can potentially assist in concealing scratches on your sandstone floors, it's important to note that it cannot guarantee a complete restoration to their original condition. The Deepshield™ Penetrating Color Enhancing Sealer is designed to darken the sandstone tiles by up to 20% and may help camouflage etches, ultimately revitalizing the appearance of your sandstone floors. However, the extent to which scratches and etches can be hidden or diminished will depend on their severity and the overall condition of the tiles. For the best outcome, it is recommended to consult with professionals who can assess your specific situation and provide appropriate guidance.
