Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- 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: What is the estimated time frame required to reseal terracotta floors?
- A: The duration needed to reseal terracotta floors varies depending on the size of the area being sealed. Typically, most jobs require around 4 to 8 hours for completion. We aim to carry out the cleaning and resealing process within the same day to minimize inconvenience and eliminate the need for multiple appointments.
- 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 is the expected drying time for terracotta tiles after the resealing process?
- A: After the resealing process, the drying time for terracotta tiles depends on the type of sealer used. Penetrating sealers typically become touch dry within 4 hours, while it takes approximately 24 hours for the sealer to fully cure. Once the sealer is fully cured, you can safely place furniture and other objects back onto the tiles and grout. It is important to avoid getting the surfaces wet for at least 24 hours to allow proper curing. In the case of topical sealers, they generally require around 48 hours to fully cure before normal activities can resume.
- Q: What preparations should be made prior to cleaning terracotta surfaces?
- A: To prepare for the cleaning of terracotta surfaces, it is important to clear the floor of any furniture or objects. This will ensure that the area is ready for the cleaning process upon the arrival of our team.
