Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: Does the application of sealer make slate floors slippery?
- A: When it comes to the slipperiness of slate floors, the application of Deepshield™ Impregnating Penetrating Sealer does not have any impact. This is because the sealer penetrates the top layer of the slate, leaving the surface unaffected in terms of slipperiness. However, it should be noted that using a topical sealer on slate floors may result in increased slipperiness when the surface is wet. To maintain both the appearance and slip resistance of your slate floors, it is advisable to seal them with a high-quality, invisible, and fully breathable impregnating sealer. By choosing this type of sealer, you can prevent moisture from being trapped within the stone, ensuring the longevity and safety of your slate floors.
- 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 steps can I take to maintain the new appearance of my sealed slate tiles?
- A: To maintain the new and pristine appearance of your sealed slate tiles, it is advisable to follow a few important steps. Tile Cleaners® suggests cleaning the tiles and grout on a weekly basis using a mild detergent. This gentle cleaning solution will effectively remove any accumulated dirt or grime from the slate surface. It is crucial to avoid using strong detergents that are either highly acidic or alkaline, as they can potentially affect the sealer. Instead, opt for mild detergents and pH-neutral substances, as they are highly recommended for maintaining the integrity of the sealer. Furthermore, the best course of action to protect your slate tiles is to seal them with one of our highest quality sealers. This sealing process provides optimal protection against staining and enhances the longevity of your slate tiles' pristine appearance.
