Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: Does the application of sealer make marble floors slippery?
• A: The Deepshield™ Impregnating Penetrating Sealer, which we use, does not affect the slipperiness of your marble floors. This sealer penetrates the top layer of your marble, maintaining its original slip resistance. However, it's worth noting that some topical sealers may potentially make the marble floors slippery when wet. To preserve both the appearance and slip resistance of your marble while preventing moisture damage, we suggest sealing your surfaces with a high-quality, invisible, and fully breathable impregnating sealer.
• Q: What is the pricing structure for the sealing of my marble tiles?
• A: Tile Cleaning follow a pricing model based on the square meter measurement for each individual room when charging for sealing marble tiles. A comprehensive price list can be found on the Tile Cleaners® website for your convenience and reference. Before commencing the project, our team will take precise measurements of each room, discuss the scope of work to be undertaken, and provide a thorough cost breakdown to ensure transparency and clarity. This process ensures that all costs are confirmed with you before proceeding with the sealing of your marble tiles.
• Q: How often should marble floors be sealed according to the recommended frequency?
• A: The recommended frequency for sealing marble floors depends on various factors, including the type of sealer used and the level of foot traffic the tiles experience. In Australia, the Deepshield® range offers deep impregnating water-based sealers, with Deepshield Gold® specifically designed for denser materials like marble and granite, providing protection for up to 15 years. Topical sealers typically last around 3 years. However, if your marble floors endure heavy foot traffic or are exposed to severe weather conditions (in the case of outdoor tiles), the lifespan of the sealer may be shorter. It is also important to consider the condition of the tiles. If you notice patchy areas and an increased susceptibility to staining, it may indicate that resealing is necessary. For further inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact our team, who will be delighted to assist you.
• Q: What is the proper method for measuring the area of marble that needs to be sealed?
• A: To accurately measure the area of marble that requires sealing, it is best to measure each individual area separately. This can be done by multiplying the width of the area by its length. For instance, if you have a room that is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, the total area would be calculated as 3 meters multiplied by 2 meters, resulting in 6 square meters (6m²). This method ensures precise measurements for determining the amount of marble that needs to be sealed.
• Q: What is the drying time for marble tiles?
• A: Marble tiles typically take approximately 4 hours to become touch dry after the sealing process. However, it is recommended to allow a full 24 hours for the sealer to fully cure before placing any objects or furniture back onto the tiles. During this curing period, it is important to refrain from moving any heavy items onto the tiles or grout to prevent any potential damage.
