• Q: What steps are involved in the process of resealing terracotta floors?
• A: When we arrive to reseal your terracotta floors, our professional team will guide you through the step-by-step process. First, any previous sealer that was applied will be stripped off. Next, the terracotta will be meticulously cleaned and neutralized to ensure it is free from dust, residue, and any other substances that could affect the new sealer. Once the surface is prepared, a fresh coat of sealer will be applied to the dry terracotta floor and allowed to set. The result will be a revitalized and protected terracotta floor that not only looks new but is also easier to maintain.
• Q: What are the signs that indicate my terracotta floors are in need of cleaning, stripping, and resealing?
• A: When your terracotta floors start to appear dull or matte, even after regular cleaning, it is a clear sign that they are ready for stripping, cleaning, and resealing. Additionally, if you notice that your terracotta tiles are prone to staining easily, it indicates that the previous sealer has worn off, making it crucial to reseal the floors promptly to prevent permanent staining. By addressing these signs and engaging in the appropriate cleaning, stripping, and resealing processes, you can revive the appearance of your terracotta floors and ensure long-lasting protection.
• Q: What is the suggested approach for measuring the dimensions of a terracotta area?
• A: When measuring a terracotta area, it is recommended to measure each section individually. The simplest approach is to multiply the width of the area by its length. For example, if a room has dimensions of 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area can be determined by multiplying 3 by 2, resulting in 6 square meters.
