Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the estimated time required to polish concrete? - Concrete | Tile and Grout Cleaning

• A: The duration required to complete concrete polishing varies depending on the size of the area. For larger projects, such as expansive floors, it may take up to three days to complete the polishing process. On the other hand, polishing a smaller surface like a bench-top can typically be finished within half a day. Professional services like Tile Cleaners® strive to minimize disruptions by aiming to complete the work within the same day, ensuring your home or business experiences as little interruption as possible.

Other FAQs :

• Q: Does sealing concrete surfaces help prevent efflorescence?
• A: Efflorescence can occur on concrete and other porous surfaces when water in the concrete brings salts to the surface as it evaporates. This process leaves behind a whitish coating that can mar the finish of the concrete. Sealing the concrete with a high-quality, water-resistant sealer can help mitigate efflorescence to some extent. However, it is important to address the underlying issue causing the water penetration, such as a water pipe leak or damaged grout, in order to fully prevent efflorescence. By sealing the concrete and resolving any sources of water infiltration, you can minimize the occurrence of efflorescence and help maintain the aesthetic integrity of your concrete surfaces.

• Q: What is the optimal timing for sealing concrete, and how can I determine if my concrete surfaces require sealing at the present moment?
• A: The optimal time to seal your concrete is right after installation to provide immediate protection against staining and damage. As for determining if your concrete surfaces require sealing, there are a couple of indicators to look out for. Firstly, if you notice patchy areas on the floor where the sealant has worn off or is uneven, it is a clear sign that resealing is needed. Additionally, if your concrete is becoming more susceptible to staining and is no longer repelling liquids as effectively as before, it is a good indication that it is time to apply a fresh coat of sealer. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure that your concrete remains adequately protected and maintains its optimal appearance.
• Q: What can I anticipate in terms of the process when your team arrives to reseal my polished concrete floors?
• A: When our professional team arrives to reseal your polished concrete floors, they will provide you with a detailed explanation of the entire process, ensuring complete transparency. The process begins with stripping any existing sealer that may have been applied previously. Next, the polished concrete is thoroughly cleaned and neutralized to eliminate any dust, residue, or contaminants that could interfere with the new sealer. Once the floor is dry, a new sealer is applied and allowed to set. This sealing process not only rejuvenates the appearance of the concrete, making it look new again, but also provides essential protection and makes maintenance easier. By following this comprehensive process, our team ensures that your polished concrete floors receive optimal treatment, resulting in a refreshed and well-protected surface.
• Q: What does the process of concrete strip and seal involve?
• A: Concrete strip and seal is a process that involves removing the existing coating or sealant from the concrete floor and then resealing it. Over time, concrete floors can become dull and lose their lustrous appearance, giving them an aged and unattractive look. By performing a strip and seal procedure, the old coating is stripped off, and a new sealant is applied, bringing back the beautiful and glossy appearance of the polished concrete. This process not only restores the aesthetic appeal of the floor but also eliminates the need for costly floor replacement. By opting for concrete strip and seal, you can revitalize your concrete floors and give them a fresh, new look without the expense of installing new flooring.
