Other FAQs :
- 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 does acid etching involve, and what measures can I take to safeguard my slate against it?
- A: Acid etching refers to the corrosive damage caused to slate tiles by acidic substances, which can easily eat away or corrode the surface. Protecting slate against acid attack can be challenging due to its difficulty in sealing against such damage. To safeguard your slate tiles from acid etching, it is essential to promptly seal them and clean up any spills immediately. Given the high porosity of stone-based tiles like slate, sealing becomes crucial to provide protection against future acid attacks and liquid spillage. By adopting these measures, you can effectively minimize the risk of acid etching and preserve the integrity and appearance of your slate tiles.
- Q: What steps should I take to properly prepare my slate floors prior to the sealing process?
- A: To properly prepare your slate floors before the sealing process, it is important to remove all furniture and items from the surface. By clearing the slate floors of any furniture or objects, you ensure that the area is ready and accessible for the sealing professionals when they arrive.
- Q: What is the estimated drying time for slate tiles?
- A: Following the application of the sealer, you can anticipate that the slate tiles will be touch dry within approximately 4 hours. However, it is essential to allow a full 24 hours for the sealer to completely cure. This is the recommended timeframe for ensuring optimal effectiveness. During this curing period, it is important to refrain from placing any heavy or hard objects, including furniture, on the tiles and grout. It is advisable to wait at least 24 hours before moving or placing any items back onto the treated surface to avoid compromising the sealer's integrity.
- Q: Will the application of the color enhancer affect the texture of my slate floors?
- A: When it comes to the color enhancer provided by Tile Cleaners®, rest assured that it will not have any impact on the texture of your slate floors. The application of the color enhancer is designed specifically to enhance the color of your surfaces, bringing out the natural beauty of your slate. You can expect the texture of your slate floors to remain unaffected while experiencing the enhanced color and intensified aesthetic appeal that the color enhancer provides.
