Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: Do you offer color enhancing services for travertine? If yes, could you provide an explanation of the process involved in color enhancement?
• A: Absolutely, we provide color enhancing services specifically designed for travertine. The color enhancement process involves the application of a specialized compound that enriches and intensifies the natural appearance of the travertine. By applying the color enhancer, the tiles' tones and hues are deepened, bringing out the inherent beauty of the travertine material. This treatment imparts a subtle wet or low sheen finish, enhancing the overall visual appeal of your travertine surfaces. Our color enhancing services are aimed at highlighting the unique characteristics and enhancing the aesthetics of your travertine.
• Q: What is the appropriate method for measuring the size of the slate area that requires sealing?
• A: To accurately measure the area of slate that requires sealing, we suggest measuring each slate area separately. The most straightforward method is to multiply the width by the length of each area. For instance, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 X 2 = 6m². By measuring each slate area individually using this method, you can determine the precise measurement needed for the sealing service.
• Q: What steps should I take to properly prepare my slate floors prior to the sealing process?
• A: To properly prepare your slate floors before the sealing process, it is important to remove all furniture and items from the surface. By clearing the slate floors of any furniture or objects, you ensure that the area is ready and accessible for the sealing professionals when they arrive.
• Q: What does acid etching involve, and what measures can I take to safeguard my slate against it?
• A: Acid etching refers to the corrosive damage caused to slate tiles by acidic substances, which can easily eat away or corrode the surface. Protecting slate against acid attack can be challenging due to its difficulty in sealing against such damage. To safeguard your slate tiles from acid etching, it is essential to promptly seal them and clean up any spills immediately. Given the high porosity of stone-based tiles like slate, sealing becomes crucial to provide protection against future acid attacks and liquid spillage. By adopting these measures, you can effectively minimize the risk of acid etching and preserve the integrity and appearance of your slate tiles.
• 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.
