Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: How can I safeguard my travertine against acid etching and what does acid etching entail?
- A: To safeguard your travertine tiles from acid etching, it is crucial to understand that any acidic substance poses a threat as it can easily corrode or eat away at the surface. Protecting against acid attacks can be challenging, as sealing the tiles specifically for acid resistance is difficult. The most effective method of prevention involves promptly sealing the tiles and promptly cleaning up any spills. Given the high porosity of stone-based tiles like travertine, sealing becomes essential to offer protection against both future acid attacks and liquid spillage.
- Q: What are the necessary steps to prepare my travertine floors before applying a sealant?
- A: Before we arrive, it is essential to ensure that all furniture and items are moved off your travertine floors. This step will prepare the area for the sealing process and allow us to work efficiently.
- Q: What is the expected drying time for my travertine tiles?
- A: It typically takes around 4 hours for the travertine tiles to be touch dry after the sealing process. However, for the sealer to fully cure and for you to safely move furniture or other heavy items back onto the tiles, it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours. During this time, it is important to avoid placing any hard objects on the tiles or grout to prevent any potential damage.
- 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: Which sealer is recommended for use on travertine pavers surrounding a pool area?
- A: The recommended sealer to use for travertine pavers around the pool is our high-quality Impregnating Penetrating Water Based Sealer. This sealer provides comprehensive protection to the travertine, ensuring its durability and preventing any potential slipperiness that may arise with other sealers.
