Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What is the usual lifespan of the sealer before it requires reapplication?
- A: The lifespan of a sealer before reapplication is influenced by the type of sealer used. Topical sealers typically provide protection for approximately 3 years before requiring reapplication. In contrast, impregnating sealers are more durable and can last up to 15 years or even a lifetime when applied to vertical surfaces. However, areas with high foot traffic or frequent use may necessitate more frequent inspections and resealing to ensure ongoing protection. Conducting a water absorption test can help assess the porosity of the surface and aid in selecting a sealer with longer-lasting durability. It is advisable to refer to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer and consult professionals to determine the specific reapplication schedule suitable for your tiles and grout.
- Q: Does sealing my bluestone floors hide scratches and etches?
- A: Tile Cleaners® colour enhancing sealer may help hide those nasty scratches you have, but we cannot guarantee that they return to their original condition. Deepshield™ Penetrating Colour Enhancing Sealer darkens your bluestone tiles by up to 20% and can help camouflage etches, restoring the natural, new look of your bluestone floors.
- Q: How do I measure the size of the area of bluestone I need sealed?
- A: We recommend that you measure each bluestone area separately. The simplest way to measure is by multiplying the width by the length. For example a room that is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide is 3 X 2 = 6m2 in total.
- Q: What should I do to prepare my bluestone floors before sealing?
- A: Move all furniture and items off your bluestone floors so they are ready for when we arrive.
- Q: Will the sealer make my bluestone floors slippery?
- A: Deepshield™ Impregnating Penetrating Sealer does not alter the slipperiness of your bluestone tiles' surface as the sealer penetrates the top layer of your bluestone. Topical Sealer may result in your bluestone floors becoming slippery when wet. To maintain the look and slip resistance of your bluestone and to prevent damaging moisture from being trapped within the stone, it is recommended to seal your surfaces with a high quality, invisible, fully breathable impregnating sealer.
