Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: Why did the tile supplier recommend sealing my porcelain tiles while the tiler advised against it?
- A: Porcelain tiles can be a source of confusion in the market, and many resources have been dedicated to clarifying the various aspects involved. It is important to note that the more inquiries you make, the more perplexed you may become. As a general guideline, textured and honed porcelain tiles typically do not require sealing, while polished porcelain tiles often benefit from it. This may seem counterintuitive, as the polishing process creates tiny pores that are prone to staining. Applying a high-quality penetrating sealer can effectively fill these pores and provide reliable stain protection. On the other hand, textured porcelain tiles usually require thorough cleaning due to their rough surface. If you find yourself uncertain, conducting a stain test can be helpful. Obtain a sample stone or an off-cut and attempt to stain it using substances commonly found in that particular area. If staining occurs, it indicates a potential benefit to having the porcelain tiles sealed.

- Q: Can sealing my pavers or stone prevent the growth of algae?
- A: Sealing pavers or stone alters their properties but does not have the ability to modify the surrounding environment. If you have a damp and shaded backyard, sealing the stone or pavers will not change those conditions. However, sealing reduces the porosity of the surface, which can inhibit the growth of algae and make cleaning easier. While it is worth considering sealing in most cases, it is important to understand that sealing alone may not completely eliminate algae growth if the environmental conditions are conducive to its development. Additional measures, such as regular cleaning and maintenance, may be necessary to effectively manage algae growth in such situations.

- A: Indoor and outdoor areas, stone pavers, liquid stone, wherever you have stone tiles we have the answer.
