Other FAQs :
- Q: What type of sealer is used and does it have an impact on the texture of terracotta tiles?
- A: Our sealing products primarily consist of water-based formulas. We avoid using solvent-based sealers except in specific situations where no alternative is available. It's important to note that the sealer we apply will not alter the texture of your terracotta tiles in any manner. Its purpose is to provide protection against staining and to preserve the desired lustrous finish you desire for your terracotta surfaces.
- Q: Does the application of sealer on terracotta floors make them slippery?
- A: When using Deepshield™ Impregnating Penetrating Sealer, the slipperiness of your terracotta tiles' surface remains unaffected. This is because the sealer penetrates the top layer, specifically the surface pores of the terracotta. However, it's worth noting that applying a Topical Sealer may potentially make your terracotta floors slippery when they are wet. To preserve both the appearance and slip resistance of your terracotta surfaces, it is advisable to seal them with a high-quality, invisible, and fully breathable impregnating sealer. This not only helps maintain the desired look but also prevents moisture from being trapped within the stone, which can be detrimental to its condition.
- Q: What can I anticipate in terms of the process when you arrive to reseal my terracotta floors?
- A: When our professional team arrives to reseal your terracotta floors, they will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring transparency and clarity. The procedure begins by stripping any existing sealer, if present, followed by a comprehensive cleaning and neutralization of the terracotta to eliminate any dust, residue, or potential contaminants that could impact the effectiveness of the new sealer. Next, a fresh sealer is carefully applied to the dry terracotta surface and allowed to properly set. As a result, your terracotta floors will regain their original appearance, while also benefiting from enhanced protection, making them easier to maintain in the long run.
- Q: What is the pricing structure for sealing terracotta tiles?
- A: Tile Cleaning follow a pricing structure based on the square meter measurement of each separate room when sealing terracotta tiles. You can find a detailed price list on the Tile Cleaning website for your reference. Prior to commencing the work, our team will conduct individual measurements for each room, discuss the scope of the project, and provide you with a comprehensive cost breakdown, ensuring complete transparency.
- Q: Why is it crucial to seal terracotta tiles?
- A: Terracotta tiles should be sealed to prevent liquids and dirt from penetrating the surface. Sealing is distinct from polishing and serves the purpose of protecting your terracotta surfaces. It is highly recommended to seal all terracotta tiles after installation. The initial seal can provide protection for up to 15 years, depending on the quality of the sealer and the level of wear and exposure. To safeguard your terracotta tiles from accidental damage, it is advisable to contact us promptly after installation for timely protection.
