Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What are the indicators that suggest my granite floors require sealing?
- A: To determine if your granite floors require sealing, there are a few key signs to observe. If your granite floors start to appear dull or lose their shine, even after regular cleaning, it may indicate the need for stripping, cleaning, and resealing. Additionally, if you notice that your granite tiles are becoming easily stained, it suggests that the previous sealer has worn off, necessitating immediate resealing to prevent permanent staining. Monitoring these visual cues and taking prompt action can help maintain the quality and longevity of your granite floors.
- Q: What is the usual lifespan of the sealer before it requires reapplication?
- A: The lifespan of a sealer before reapplication is influenced by the type of sealer used. Topical sealers typically provide protection for approximately 3 years before requiring reapplication. In contrast, impregnating sealers are more durable and can last up to 15 years or even a lifetime when applied to vertical surfaces. However, areas with high foot traffic or frequent use may necessitate more frequent inspections and resealing to ensure ongoing protection. Conducting a water absorption test can help assess the porosity of the surface and aid in selecting a sealer with longer-lasting durability. It is advisable to refer to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer and consult professionals to determine the specific reapplication schedule suitable for your tiles and grout.
- Q: What is the pricing structure for sealing granite tiles?
- A: When it comes to sealing granite tiles, Tile Cleaners® follow a pricing structure based on the square meter measurement of each separate room. You can find a detailed price list on the Tile Cleaners® website for your reference. Before commencing the work, our team will measure each room individually, discuss the scope of the project, and provide you with a clear confirmation of the work to be carried out as well as the associated costs. This ensures transparency and allows you to have a comprehensive understanding of the pricing for sealing your granite tiles.
- Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a granite area?
- A: To accurately measure the size of a granite area, it is recommended to measure each area individually. The most straightforward method is to multiply the width of the area by its length. For instance, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 multiplied by 2, resulting in a total of 6 square meters. By measuring each granite area separately and calculating the total square meters, you can ensure precise measurements for accurate pricing and planning purposes.
- Q: What is the optimal timing for sealing granite floors, and how can I determine if my granite floors currently require sealing?
- A: The ideal moment to seal your granite floors is right after their installation, as this helps prevent any potential accidental staining or damage. If you observe patchy sealed areas on your granite tiles or notice that they are becoming more prone to staining, these are clear indications that your granite floors are in need of sealing. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure the long-term protection and beauty of your granite floors.
