Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What is the recommended frequency for sealing granite floors?
• A: The frequency of sealing granite floors varies based on the type of sealer used and the level of foot traffic they experience. The Deepshield® range of impregnating water-based sealers in Australia, particularly Deepshield Gold® designed for denser surfaces like granite, can offer long-lasting protection for up to 15 years. In contrast, topical sealers generally have a lifespan of around 3 years. However, the actual duration may be influenced by factors such as high foot traffic or severe weather conditions for outdoor tiles, which could necessitate more frequent resealing. Additionally, the condition of the tiles themselves is a significant factor. If you notice patchy areas or easy staining, it may indicate the need for resealing. Feel free to reach out to us for further assistance with any inquiries related to sealing your granite tiles.
• Q: What is the pricing structure for sealing granite tiles?
• A: When it comes to sealing granite tiles, Tile Cleaners® follow a pricing structure based on the square meter measurement of each separate room. You can find a detailed price list on the Tile Cleaners® website for your reference. Before commencing the work, our team will measure each room individually, discuss the scope of the project, and provide you with a clear confirmation of the work to be carried out as well as the associated costs. This ensures transparency and allows you to have a comprehensive understanding of the pricing for sealing your granite tiles.
• Q: What is the estimated time frame required to reseal granite floors?
• A: The duration to reseal granite floors can vary based on the size of the area being sealed. In most cases, the process typically takes around 4 to 8 hours to complete. Our team is committed to completing both the cleaning and resealing tasks on the same day, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and ensuring convenience for our clients.
• Q: What steps can I take to maintain the fresh appearance of my granite tiles after sealing them?
• A: To maintain the fresh appearance of your sealed granite tiles, Tile Cleaners® suggests the following steps. Regularly clean the tiles and grout on a weekly basis using a mild detergent to remove dirt and grime. It is important to avoid using strong detergents with high acidity or alkalinity, as they may potentially affect the sealer. Instead, opt for mild detergents and pH-neutral substances for cleaning. Our top recommendation for protecting your granite tiles is to seal them with one of our highest quality sealers. Sealing provides the best possible protection against staining and helps maintain the pristine condition of your granite tiles.
• Q: What are the potential consequences of not sealing granite floors?
• A: If granite floors are left unsealed, they can be susceptible to various issues. Due to their porous nature, spills of oily or harsh substances can seep into the granite tiles and penetrate their pores, resulting in permanent staining that cannot be effectively removed through regular domestic cleaning methods. To preserve the natural look and feel of your granite tiles and safeguard them against permanent staining, we strongly recommend sealing them. Sealing provides a protective barrier that prevents spills from penetrating the surface, keeping your granite floors looking their best for an extended period. Furthermore, sealed granite floors are easier to maintain, offering convenience in their upkeep and ensuring their long-term durability.
