Other FAQs :
- Q: What does the term "strip and seal" refer to when discussing floors?
- A: When discussing floors, the term "strip and seal" refers to a procedure where the existing coating or sealer on the floor surface is removed, and a new sealant is applied. Over time, floors can become dull and lose their shine, diminishing their visual appeal. By undergoing the strip and seal process, it is possible to revitalize the floors and bring them back to their original condition. This method provides a cost-effective solution for rejuvenating worn-out surfaces, making it a preferable alternative to complete floor replacement.
- Q: Does sealing eliminate the need for maintenance on my stone surfaces?
- A: Sealing your stone surfaces does not make them maintenance-free. While sealing provides added protection against staining and makes cleaning easier, it does not eliminate the need for regular maintenance. Sealed stone surfaces are more resistant to stains and contaminants, allowing you more time to clean up spills before they can penetrate the stone. However, it's important to note that no sealer can make a porous surface completely stain-proof. Proper cleaning and maintenance practices are still necessary to keep your stone surfaces in good condition. Using the recommended stone cleaning products and following appropriate maintenance routines will help preserve the appearance and longevity of your sealed stone.
- Q: What are the benefits of hiring a professional to seal my stone?
- A: Hiring a professional to seal your stone brings several advantages. Firstly, professionals have the expertise to select the appropriate sealer based on the type of stone and its specific needs. They ensure that the stone is thoroughly cleaned before sealing, removing any dirt or blemishes that could be trapped beneath the sealer. This ensures a clean and flawless surface for optimal sealing results. Professionals are knowledgeable about industry standards and best practices, ensuring that the sealing process is done correctly and effectively. By relying on a professional, you can have peace of mind knowing that your stone will be sealed properly, enhancing its appearance and providing long-lasting protection.
- Q: What is the ideal timing for sealing my stone, and how can I determine if my stone requires sealing at present?
- A: It is highly recommended to seal your stone or grout immediately after installation to minimize the risk of accidental staining or damage. As for determining if your stone requires sealing at present, you can observe the presence of patchy sealed areas on the floor or an increased susceptibility to staining on the tiles. These signs indicate that resealing may be necessary to maintain the protection and appearance of your stone surfaces.
- Q: How should I clean my sealed stone surface?
- A: The best way to keep stone surfaces in good condition is to use a ph neutral cleaner followed by clean water for spills, otherwise a microfibre mop will get rid of dust.
