Other FAQs :
- Q: Does the application of sealer make slate floors slippery?
- A: When it comes to the slipperiness of slate floors, the application of Deepshield™ Impregnating Penetrating Sealer does not have any impact. This is because the sealer penetrates the top layer of the slate, leaving the surface unaffected in terms of slipperiness. However, it should be noted that using a topical sealer on slate floors may result in increased slipperiness when the surface is wet. To maintain both the appearance and slip resistance of your slate floors, it is advisable to seal them with a high-quality, invisible, and fully breathable impregnating sealer. By choosing this type of sealer, you can prevent moisture from being trapped within the stone, ensuring the longevity and safety of your slate floors.
- Q: Will the application of the color enhancer affect the texture of my slate floors?
- A: When it comes to the color enhancer provided by Tile Cleaners®, rest assured that it will not have any impact on the texture of your slate floors. The application of the color enhancer is designed specifically to enhance the color of your surfaces, bringing out the natural beauty of your slate. You can expect the texture of your slate floors to remain unaffected while experiencing the enhanced color and intensified aesthetic appeal that the color enhancer provides.
- Q: Does Tile Cleaning offer assistance with moving furniture when sealing the floor?
- A: Tile Cleaning provides assistance with moving furniture during the floor sealing process. Their team of dedicated technicians is available to help with the relocation of furniture items that can be reasonably managed by one person, such as those with wheels or lightweight furniture like tables and chairs. However, it is important to keep in mind that while Tile Cleaning takes precautions to protect your belongings, they cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur during the furniture moving process. To ensure the safety of valuable or fragile items, it is recommended to either relocate them to a secure area or properly secure them before the technicians arrive. By taking these necessary precautions, you can help ensure the safety of your furniture and minimize the risk of potential damage while the floor sealing process is being carried out.
- 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: What is the estimated drying time for slate tiles?
- A: Following the application of the sealer, you can anticipate that the slate tiles will be touch dry within approximately 4 hours. However, it is essential to allow a full 24 hours for the sealer to completely cure. This is the recommended timeframe for ensuring optimal effectiveness. During this curing period, it is important to refrain from placing any heavy or hard objects, including furniture, on the tiles and grout. It is advisable to wait at least 24 hours before moving or placing any items back onto the treated surface to avoid compromising the sealer's integrity.
