Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the expected drying time for granite tiles after the resealing process? - Tile and Grout Sealing | Sealing Granite Tiles

• A: After the resealing process, the drying time for granite tiles depends on the type of sealer used. Penetrating sealers typically become touch dry within 4 hours, while it takes approximately 24 hours for the sealer to fully cure. Once the sealer has fully cured, it is safe to place furniture and other objects back onto the tiles and grout. It is important to avoid getting the surfaces wet for at least 24 hours to allow proper curing. In the case of topical sealers, they generally require around 48 hours to fully cure before normal activities can resume. These drying times ensure the optimal effectiveness and longevity of the sealant on your granite tiles.

Other FAQs :

• 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: Does the application of sealer on granite floors make them slippery?
• A: When using Deepshield™ Impregnating Penetrating Sealer, the slipperiness of your granite tile surface remains unaffected. This is because the sealer penetrates the top layer, specifically the surface pores of the granite. However, it's worth noting that applying a Topical Sealer may potentially make your granite floors slippery when they are wet. To preserve both the appearance and slip resistance of your granite surfaces and prevent moisture from being trapped within the stone, it is advisable to seal them with a high-quality, invisible, and fully breathable impregnating sealer. This ensures the optimal protection and maintenance of your granite floors.
• Q: What steps should I take to prepare for the cleaning of my granite surfaces?
• A: To prepare for the cleaning of your granite surfaces, it is recommended to move all furniture and items off the floor. This allows the cleaning team to have unobstructed access to the granite surfaces and ensures that the area is ready for their arrival. By clearing the floor of furniture and items, you can facilitate a smooth and efficient cleaning process for your granite surfaces.
• Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a granite area?
• A: To accurately measure the size of a granite area, it is recommended to measure each area individually. The most straightforward method is to multiply the width of the area by its length. For instance, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 multiplied by 2, resulting in a total of 6 square meters. By measuring each granite area separately and calculating the total square meters, you can ensure precise measurements for accurate pricing and planning purposes.
• Q: What is the optimal timing for sealing granite floors, and how can I determine if my granite floors currently require sealing?
• A: The ideal moment to seal your granite floors is right after their installation, as this helps prevent any potential accidental staining or damage. If you observe patchy sealed areas on your granite tiles or notice that they are becoming more prone to staining, these are clear indications that your granite floors are in need of sealing. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure the long-term protection and beauty of your granite floors.
