Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What steps should I take to get ready for grout sealing?
- A: Please ensure that all items are removed from the area that will be undergoing grout sealing to ensure it is ready for our arrival.
- Q: Should I seal my grout?
- A: Sealing your grout is highly recommended if you want to maintain the fresh and crisp appearance of your grout lines and preserve their original color. While some manufacturers may argue that it's an unnecessary expense, the benefits become evident when you find yourself scrubbing the grout lines on your hands and knees. Sealing the grout not only makes cleaning easier but also extends the lifespan of the grout, especially in areas prone to moisture and outdoor exposure.
- Q: Can I seal just the grout lines if my tiles cannot be sealed?
- A: Yes you can and it is recommended to seal your grout lines especially if they are a light colour, this will save you the likely cost of having to regrout your tiles only a few years after installation.
- 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: Can the color of my grout be altered by applying a sealer?
- A: If you are seeking a different aesthetic for your floors, you may consider color sealing as an option. Altering the color of the grout can provide a contemporary appearance without the need for extensive tile replacement. Darker grout shades are gaining popularity as they enhance the tile's visual impact and make dirt less noticeable.
