- Q: What can I anticipate during the process of resealing my slate floors?
- A: What should you expect during the process of resealing your slate floors? Our professional team will provide a detailed overview of each step involved. Firstly, if there is any existing sealer, it will be stripped off. Next, the slate will undergo a comprehensive cleaning and neutralization process to ensure the removal of dust, residues, and any other substances that may interfere with the new sealer's effectiveness. Once the slate floor is dry, a fresh layer of sealer will be applied and allowed to set. This resealing process not only revitalizes the appearance of your slate floors, making them look new again, but also provides protection. As a result, your slate floors will be easier to maintain in the long run.
- 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 does the term "slate sealer" refer to?
- A: When we talk about a "slate sealer," we are referring to a type of liquid or carrier that contains a resin. This sealer is specifically designed to be applied to porous surfaces, whether they are natural stone or man-made materials. The primary purpose of using a slate sealer is to prevent staining caused by water and/or oil-based substances. By applying the sealer, you can safeguard your slate surfaces from absorbing and retaining these staining materials. Additionally, using a slate sealer can also enhance the effectiveness of your cleaning efforts, ensuring that you achieve better results when maintaining and cleaning your slate surfaces.
- Q: What is the pricing method for the sealing of my slate tiles?
- A: Tile Cleaners® utilizes a per square meter pricing model for the sealing of each distinct slate room. You can find a detailed price list on the Tile Cleaners® website for your reference. Prior to commencing the work, our team will conduct measurements for each room individually. We will then confirm the scope of the work to be carried out and provide you with a comprehensive cost breakdown, ensuring transparency and clarity regarding all expenses involved.
- Q: Will the sealing process of my slate floors conceal scratches and etches?
- A: When it comes to concealing scratches and etches on slate floors, the application of Tile Cleaners® color enhancing sealer can be beneficial. While we cannot guarantee that the scratches will completely disappear and return the slate to its original condition, our Deepshield™ Penetrating Color Enhancing Sealer can darken the slate tiles by up to 20%. This darkening effect can help camouflage the appearance of scratches and etches, ultimately restoring the natural and fresh look of your slate floors.
