Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What type of sealer is applied and will it alter the texture of my slate tiles?
- A: When it comes to our sealing process, we exclusively utilize water-based sealing products. Solvent-based sealers are only utilized in specific circumstances when no other option is available. Rest assured that the sealer we apply will not have any impact on the texture of your slate tiles. It is designed to preserve the natural texture and appearance of the slate while providing effective protection against staining. By using our sealer, you can maintain the desired lustrous and natural finish of your slate tiles while ensuring they are shielded from potential stains.
- Q: Which sealer is considered the most suitable for sealing the slate around my pool?
- A: When it comes to sealing slate around swimming pools, our top recommendation is our high-quality Impregnating Penetrating Water Based Sealer. This particular sealer is designed to provide comprehensive protection to your slate, penetrating deep into the stone for maximum effectiveness. One notable advantage of this sealer is its ability to eliminate the slipperiness that can be associated with other sealers used on slate surfaces. By choosing our Impregnating Penetrating Water Based Sealer, you can ensure that your slate around the pool area is well-protected and maintains its desired level of traction.
- 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: Does Tile Cleaning offer assistance with moving furniture when sealing the floor?
- A: Tile Cleaning provides assistance with moving furniture during the floor sealing process. Their team of dedicated technicians is available to help with the relocation of furniture items that can be reasonably managed by one person, such as those with wheels or lightweight furniture like tables and chairs. However, it is important to keep in mind that while Tile Cleaning takes precautions to protect your belongings, they cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur during the furniture moving process. To ensure the safety of valuable or fragile items, it is recommended to either relocate them to a secure area or properly secure them before the technicians arrive. By taking these necessary precautions, you can help ensure the safety of your furniture and minimize the risk of potential damage while the floor sealing process is being carried out.
- Q: What is the typical time frame for resealing slate floors?
- A: The duration required to reseal your slate floors can vary depending on the size of the area being sealed. Typically, most jobs can be completed within 4 to 8 hours. Our aim is to efficiently carry out both the cleaning and resealing processes on the same day, whenever feasible. This approach ensures that you won't have to deal with multiple appointments, streamlining the overall experience for your convenience.
