Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What is a limestone tiles strip and seal?
- A: Limestone tiles stripping and sealing is simply the process of stripping the coating off the limestone floor before resealing it. Limestone flooring can look dull and lifeless over time, making it look older and really bringing down the feel of the home. By stripping and resealing, you can bring back the beautiful, lustrous appearance of your limestone and eliminate the cost of laying new flooring.
- Q: How do I know when my limestone floors are ready for cleaning, stripping and resealing?
- A: You will know it's time to have your limestone floors stripped, cleaned and sealed once they begin to appear dull or "matte" even after you have given them an efficient regular clean. If you notice that your limestone tiles are staining easily, it's a good indication that your previous sealer is wearing off and your limestone floors will need to be resealed immediately to prevent permanent staining.
- Q: How will you charge me for stripping and sealing my limestone tiles?
- A: Tile Cleaners® charge per square meter for each separate room. There is a price list on the Tile Cleaners® website for you to review. Before we begin our work we will measure each room individually, confirm the work to be carried out as well as confirm all costs with you.
- Q: Will sealing my Limestone prevent efflorescence?
- A: Efflorescence is a problem that limestone and most porous tiles can face. It's the tendency of the water in the limestone to bring salts from the stone to the surface as it evaporates. The water evaporates leaving the salts on the surface resulting in a whitish coating and ruining its finish. The only way to avoid this problem is to seal your limestone tiles with one of our highest quality water resistant sealer's and to stop the source of the water that is penetrating the tiles, for example a water pipe leak or damaged grout.
- Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a limestone area?
- A: To measure the size of a limestone area, it is recommended to measure each room separately. Begin by measuring the width and length of the room. Multiply the width by the length to calculate the total square meterage. For example, if a room is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, the calculation would be 3 meters * 2 meters = 6 square meters in total. By measuring each room individually and using the width * length method, you can accurately determine the size of the limestone area you wish to assess or have cleaned.
