Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What is the purpose of using sealer and coating agents on stone?
- A: The idea of using sealers on stone surface is to prevent water from penetrating the porous structure of the stone, which eventually leads to stains, cracks, weathering, and deterioration. There are largely two types of chemical agents for stone cleaning.
- Q: How often should I seal my stone?
- A: It depends on the type of sealer used and the amount of foot traffic the stone is being exposed to. Australia's Deepshield™ range of deep impregnating water based sealer's offer long term benefits with Deepshield™ Gold lasting up to 15 years. Topical sealer's have a life expectancy of around 3 years. If you have a high amount of foot traffic or perhaps severe weather conditions you may experience a shorter lifetime. Sealing your stone can also depend on the surfaces condition. Once stone starts showing patchy areas and is staining easily then you should have it resealed.

- Q: Why should I seal stone tiles & grout?
- A:
Most stone surfaces are subject to deterioration and degradation of appearance through traffic, UV rays, moisture, rain, chemicals, and other impurities such as oil, gas, grease, acids and salt. This can easily result in common problems such as cracking, pitting, scaling, spalling, delamination, dusting, discolouration, efflorescence, salt damage, etc. Sealing stone offers excellent maintenance benefits when quality products are used such as Australia's Deepshield™ deep impregnating range of sealers.
Sealing your tiles & grout can help:- Prevent unsightly stains
- Prevent discolouration
- Keep your tiled floors looking better for longer
- Q: Is it possible to remove efflorescence that has developed on stone surfaces?
- A: Yes, efflorescence, which is the accumulation of salts, can be removed using specific efflorescence removers and specialized cleaning techniques. Efflorescence often arises from sources such as leaks behind the stone, tiles, or damaged grout lines. While efflorescence can be successfully removed, it is crucial to address and resolve the underlying cause to prevent its recurrence. By addressing the root issue and employing appropriate cleaning methods, efflorescence can be effectively eliminated from stone surfaces.
- Q: How should I clean my sealed stone surface?
- A: The best way to keep stone surfaces in good condition is to use a ph neutral cleaner followed by clean water for spills, otherwise a microfibre mop will get rid of dust.
