Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What steps should I take to get ready for grout sealing?
- A: Please ensure that all items are removed from the area that will be undergoing grout sealing to ensure it is ready for our arrival.
- Q: Is it possible to apply a sealer exclusively to the grout lines if the tiles themselves cannot be sealed?
- A: Yes, it is possible and recommended to seal the grout lines, especially if they are light in color. Sealing the grout lines can help protect them from staining and discoloration, which can save you the expense of having to regrout the tiles in the future.
- Q: What is the usual lifespan of the sealer before it requires reapplication?
- A: The lifespan of a sealer before reapplication is influenced by the type of sealer used. Topical sealers typically provide protection for approximately 3 years before requiring reapplication. In contrast, impregnating sealers are more durable and can last up to 15 years or even a lifetime when applied to vertical surfaces. However, areas with high foot traffic or frequent use may necessitate more frequent inspections and resealing to ensure ongoing protection. Conducting a water absorption test can help assess the porosity of the surface and aid in selecting a sealer with longer-lasting durability. It is advisable to refer to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer and consult professionals to determine the specific reapplication schedule suitable for your tiles and grout.
- Q: How can I determine the dimensions of the grout area that needs to be sealed?
- A: It is advisable to measure each grout area individually. The measurement can be done by multiplying the width of the area by its length. For instance, if a room has a length of 3 meters and a width of 2 meters, the total area would be calculated as 3 meters multiplied by 2 meters, resulting in 6 square meters in total.
- Q: Does the sealing process make the grout water-resistant?
- A: Sealing is not a waterproofing solution. If you are experiencing waterproofing issues, such as leaks on balconies, simply sealing the grout will not solve the problem. In such cases, a more comprehensive solution like regrouting may be necessary.
