Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What type of guarantee is provided with stone sealing services?
- A: Stone and grout sealing services do not typically come with guarantees. However, our Impregnating Water Based Sealers have a life expectancy of up to 10 years, which can vary based on factors such as the quality of the stone, level of foot traffic, and maintenance procedures implemented. It is important to understand that a sealer does not provide complete imperviousness to stains. Rather, it offers a reaction time to address spills. An unsealed floor can immediately stain, whereas a sealed floor is resistant to staining and provides a reaction time of up to 4-5 hours. A penetrating sealer sits just beneath the stone's surface, preventing spills from penetrating and causing staining. However, it cannot prevent etching or surface damage caused by acid-based spills like red wine, vinegar, urine, or fruit juice. Immediate cleaning of such spills is crucial to prevent permanent damage to the stone surface.
- Q: What is the recommended waiting time before walking on sealed tiles or placing furniture back on them?
- A: The recommended waiting time before walking on sealed tiles and placing furniture back on them is typically around 4 hours. This allows the tiles to become touch dry, making it safe to walk on the surface and return most furniture items. However, it is important to avoid mopping the tiles or exposing them to moisture for at least 24 hours to prevent washing off the sealer. The sealer requires up to 24 hours to fully cure and provide optimal protection. It is also advisable to refrain from placing rugs on the floor for at least 24 hours, allowing the tiles to breathe until the sealer is completely cured. Following these guidelines ensures the best results and longevity of the sealer on your tiles.
- Q: What measures can I undertake to preserve the appearance of my surfaces and retain their fresh look?
- A: To preserve the fresh and new appearance of your surfaces, regular cleaning is crucial. Use a mild detergent or pH neutral cleaner to remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants that can accumulate over time. Avoid using harsh detergents or cleaning agents with high acidity or alkalinity, as they can potentially damage the sealer and affect the surface's appearance. By opting for mild detergents and pH neutral substances, you can effectively clean your surfaces without compromising the integrity of the sealer and ensure that they maintain their attractive appearance for extended periods.
- Q: Does sealing my pavers or stone prevent the growth of algae?
- A: Sealing alters the properties of the pavers or stone but does not modify the surrounding environment. If your backyard is damp and shady, the sealing product cannot change those conditions. However, sealing reduces the porosity of the pavers or stone, thereby inhibiting the growth of algae and making cleaning easier. In most situations, it is advisable to consider sealing as a beneficial option.
