Other FAQs :
- Q: How long does the sealer need to dry for it to fully cure?
- A: The drying time required for a sealer to fully cure can vary depending on the specific product being used. In general, most sealers have a relatively quick drying time, with the surface becoming touch-dry within approximately 4 hours. This applies to both penetrating sealers and topical sealers. Penetrating sealers typically complete their curing process within 24 hours, while topical sealers may take up to 48 hours to fully dry. It is crucial to carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer regarding the recommended drying time. Doing so ensures that the sealer properly sets and provides the intended level of protection. Adhering to the specified drying time will help guarantee the longevity and effectiveness of the sealer on your tiles.
- Q: Which process can I expect when you arrive to seal my stone?
- A: Our professional team will go through the job processes with you step by step so you know exactly what you're getting. The process includes stripping any previous sealer if it was applied, the stone is then thoroughly cleaned and neutralised so that it is free of dust, residue and anything else that can affect the new sealer. A new sealer is applied to the stone and allowed to set. The newly sealed stone will not only look new again, it will be protected and result in your surfaces becoming easier to maintain.
- Q: What does the term "strip and seal" refer to when discussing floors?
- A: When discussing floors, the term "strip and seal" refers to a procedure where the existing coating or sealer on the floor surface is removed, and a new sealant is applied. Over time, floors can become dull and lose their shine, diminishing their visual appeal. By undergoing the strip and seal process, it is possible to revitalize the floors and bring them back to their original condition. This method provides a cost-effective solution for rejuvenating worn-out surfaces, making it a preferable alternative to complete floor replacement.
- Q: Does the process of sealing tiles have the potential to alter the appearance of the surface?
- A: The effect of sealing on the surface's appearance can vary depending on factors such as the type of sealer used and the number of coats applied. Different sealers can produce different visual outcomes for the tiles. Some sealers may enhance the natural color and sheen of the tiles, while others may result in a more subdued or matte finish. It is important to consider your desired outcome and consult professionals for guidance in selecting a sealer that aligns with your aesthetic preferences and goals for the surface's appearance. By discussing your requirements, you can choose a sealer that enhances the overall look of the tiles to your satisfaction.
- Q: Does sealing eliminate the need for maintenance on my stone surfaces?
- A: Sealing your stone surfaces does not make them maintenance-free. While sealing provides added protection against staining and makes cleaning easier, it does not eliminate the need for regular maintenance. Sealed stone surfaces are more resistant to stains and contaminants, allowing you more time to clean up spills before they can penetrate the stone. However, it's important to note that no sealer can make a porous surface completely stain-proof. Proper cleaning and maintenance practices are still necessary to keep your stone surfaces in good condition. Using the recommended stone cleaning products and following appropriate maintenance routines will help preserve the appearance and longevity of your sealed stone.
