Other FAQs :
- Q: How often should marble floors be sealed according to the recommended frequency?
- A: The recommended frequency for sealing marble floors depends on various factors, including the type of sealer used and the level of foot traffic the tiles experience. In Australia, the Deepshield® range offers deep impregnating water-based sealers, with Deepshield Gold® specifically designed for denser materials like marble and granite, providing protection for up to 15 years. Topical sealers typically last around 3 years. However, if your marble floors endure heavy foot traffic or are exposed to severe weather conditions (in the case of outdoor tiles), the lifespan of the sealer may be shorter. It is also important to consider the condition of the tiles. If you notice patchy areas and an increased susceptibility to staining, it may indicate that resealing is necessary.

- Q: How do I know when my marble floors are ready for cleaning, stripping and resealing?
- A: You will know it's time to have your marble floors stripped, cleaned and sealed once they begin to appear dull or "matte" even after you have given them an efficient regular clean. If you notice that your marble tiles are staining easily, it's a good indication that your previous sealer is wearing off and your marble floors will need to be resealed immediately to prevent permanent staining.
- Q: What are the potential consequences of not sealing marble floors?
- A: Neglecting to seal marble floors can leave them vulnerable to damage. Spills containing oils or harsh substances have the potential to penetrate the porous surface of the marble, resulting in permanent stains that cannot be effectively removed through regular domestic cleaning methods. It is highly advisable to seal your marble tiles to preserve their natural appearance, protect them from permanent staining, and prevent accidental damage in the future. By sealing your marble floors, you can extend their longevity, maintain their pristine condition, and facilitate easier and more convenient maintenance.

- Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a marble area?
- A: To accurately measure the size of a marble area, it is recommended to measure each area separately. The measurement process involves multiplying the width of the area by its length. For instance, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 meters multiplied by 2 meters, resulting in a total of 6 square meters (6m2). This method ensures precise measurement and allows for accurate calculations of the marble area.
