Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the drying time for marble tiles? - Marble | Tile and Grout Sealing

• A: Marble tiles typically take approximately 4 hours to become touch dry after the sealing process. However, it is recommended to allow a full 24 hours for the sealer to fully cure before placing any objects or furniture back onto the tiles. During this curing period, it is important to refrain from moving any heavy items onto the tiles or grout to prevent any potential damage.

Other FAQs :

• Q: Does the application of a color enhancer impact the texture of marble floors?
• A: The color enhancer applied by Tile Cleaning does not alter the texture of your marble floors. Its primary effect is to enhance the colors of your marble tiles, bringing out the inherent natural beauty of your surfaces.
• Q: How often should marble floors be sealed according to the recommended frequency?
• A: The recommended frequency for sealing marble floors depends on various factors, including the type of sealer used and the level of foot traffic the tiles experience. In Australia, the Deepshield® range offers deep impregnating water-based sealers, with Deepshield Gold® specifically designed for denser materials like marble and granite, providing protection for up to 15 years. Topical sealers typically last around 3 years. However, if your marble floors endure heavy foot traffic or are exposed to severe weather conditions (in the case of outdoor tiles), the lifespan of the sealer may be shorter. It is also important to consider the condition of the tiles. If you notice patchy areas and an increased susceptibility to staining, it may indicate that resealing is necessary.

This includes polished marble, honed marble, marble with a matte finish, porous marble, pre-sealed marble, as well as marble tiles found in bathrooms on floors and walls.

• Q: What is acid etching, and what measures can I take to safeguard my marble against it?
• A: Acid etching refers to the process in which acidic substances can corrode or eat away at your marble tiles, causing damage. Protecting your marble against acid etching can be challenging as sealing alone may not provide complete defense. The most effective method to safeguard your marble tiles is to promptly seal them and clean any spills or acidic substances immediately. Since stone-based tiles, including marble, have high porosity, sealing is essential to provide protection against future acid attacks and liquid spillage. Taking these preventative measures will help preserve the integrity of your marble tiles.
