Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: How often should I seal my quarry tile floors?
• A: It depends on the type of sealer used and the amount of foot traffic the quarry tiles are 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(for outdoor tiles), you may experience a shorter lifetime. Sealing your quarry tiles can also depend on the tiles condition. Once they start showing patchy areas and are staining easily then you should have them resealed. Give us a call and we can assist you with all your enquiries.
• Q: What can I expect in terms of mess during the stripping and sealing process of terracotta tiles, and is there a risk of damaging walls or skirting boards?
• A: At Tile Cleaning, we take great care to minimize mess during the stripping and sealing process of terracotta tiles. Our approach involves using high-quality, non-solvent-based stripping and sealing products, which are designed to ensure a clean and tidy process. These products are specifically selected to minimize the risk of damaging your floors, walls, or skirting boards. Our team of technicians is trained to handle the process with utmost care, ensuring that your surfaces are protected throughout. In most cases, non-solvent-based strippers and techniques are used, which effectively achieve excellent results without causing any harm. However, in rare circumstances where solvent-based strippers are necessary, additional precautions may be taken. This could involve temporarily vacating the premises for up to 48 hours to ensure safety and provide optimal protection. Rest assured that our experienced technicians will take all necessary measures to maintain a clean and damage-free environment during the stripping and sealing process.
• Q: When is the best time to seal my quarry tile floors and how do I know that mine need sealing now?
• A: The best time to have your quarry tiles sealed is immediately after installation to prevent any accidental staining or damage. You will know that your quarry tiles need sealing once you start noticing patchy sealed areas of the floor and/or your quarry tiles are staining easier.
• Q: What happens if I do not seal my quarry tile floors?
• A: Quarry tile floors can damage easily, any oily or harsh spills can damage the quarry tiles and penetrate the pores leaving a permanent stain, unreachable by domestic cleaning methods. We strongly recommend sealing you quarry tiles to keep their fresh look and feel, to protect them against permanent staining and to prevent any future accidental damage. They will look their very best for longer and will be easier and more convenient to maintain.
• Q: Is it safe to have quarry tiles stripped and sealed?
• A: Yes, our tile cleaning services are safe! Tile Cleaners® generally use only the highest quality water based products alongside our state of the art cleaning machinery to provide the best cleaning solution without compromising your quarry tiles.
