Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: When is the best time to seal my bluestone floors and how do I know that mine need sealing now?
- A: The best time to have your bluestone tiles sealed is immediately after installation to prevent any accidental staining or damage. You will know that your bluestone tiles need sealing once you start noticing patchy sealed areas of the floor and/or your bluestone tiles are staining easier.
- Q: Will sealing my bluestone prevent efflorescence?
- A: Efflorescence is a problem that bluestone and most porous tiles can face. It's the tendency of the water in the bluestone to bring salts from the stone to the surface as it evaporates. The water evaporates leaving the salts on the surface resulting in a whitish coating and ruining its finish. The only way to avoid this problem is to seal your bluestone tiles with one of our highest quality water resistant sealer's and to stop the source of the water that is penetrating the tiles, for example a water pipe leak or damaged grout.
- Q: What is floor stripping?
- A: The process of stripping a floor is to ensure that all necessary old and worn sealer is removed; once removed your bluestone tiles can be resealed.
- Q: Which process can I expect when you arrive to reseal my bluestone floors?
- A: Our professional team will go through the job processes with you step by step so you know exactly what you're getting. The process includes stripping any previous sealer if it was applied, the bluestone is then thoroughly cleaned and neutralised so that it is free of dust, residue and anything else that can affect the new sealer. A new sealer is applied to the dry bluestone floor and allowed to set. The newly sealed bluestone floor will not only look new again, it will be protected and result in your bluestone becoming easier to maintain.
- Q: Efflorescence has built up on my bluestone tiles. Can you remove it?
- A: Yes we can. Efflorescence is a build up of salts and can be removed with efflorescence removers and other specialised cleaning techniques. Efflorescence is typically caused by a leakage behind the bluestone tiles or through damaged grout lines. The efflorescence can be removed but it is important the cause of the efflorescence is resoled.
