Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- 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: Should I seal my grout?
- A: Sealing your grout is highly recommended if you want to maintain the fresh and crisp appearance of your grout lines and preserve their original color. While some manufacturers may argue that it's an unnecessary expense, the benefits become evident when you find yourself scrubbing the grout lines on your hands and knees. Sealing the grout not only makes cleaning easier but also extends the lifespan of the grout, especially in areas prone to moisture and outdoor exposure.
- 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: 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 necessary to continue cleaning my grout even after it has been sealed?
- A: While sealing your grout will make it easier to maintain, it does not completely prevent dirt and grime from accumulating. Regular cleaning and maintenance are still necessary to keep your grout looking fresh and clean.
