Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What are the indicators that suggest my terracotta floors require sealing?
- A: Determining the need to seal your terracotta floors can be based on a few key indicators. Firstly, if your terracotta floors start to look dull or lose their shine, even after regular cleaning, it may be a sign that they need to be stripped, cleaned, and resealed. Additionally, if you notice that your terracotta tiles are becoming prone to staining easily, it is likely that the previous sealer has worn off, and immediate resealing is necessary to prevent permanent staining. Monitoring these visual cues and taking timely action can help maintain the quality and appearance of your terracotta floors.
- Q: Why is it crucial to seal terracotta tiles?
- A: Terracotta tiles should be sealed to prevent liquids and dirt from penetrating the surface. Sealing is distinct from polishing and serves the purpose of protecting your terracotta surfaces. It is highly recommended to seal all terracotta tiles after installation. The initial seal can provide protection for up to 15 years, depending on the quality of the sealer and the level of wear and exposure. To safeguard your terracotta tiles from accidental damage, it is advisable to contact us promptly after installation for timely protection.
- Q: What does the term "sealer" refer to?
- A: When we talk about a "sealer," we are referring to a liquid or carrier that contains a resin. This substance is applied to porous surfaces, whether they are natural stone or man-made materials. The primary function of a sealer is to provide protection against staining caused by water and/or oil-based materials. By applying the sealer, you can prevent these substances from penetrating and staining the surface. Additionally, a sealer can enhance the overall cleaning results by making it easier to clean and maintain the surfaces effectively.
- 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 pricing structure for sealing terracotta tiles?
- A: Tile Cleaning follow a pricing structure based on the square meter measurement of each separate room when sealing terracotta tiles. You can find a detailed price list on the Tile Cleaning website for your reference. Prior to commencing the work, our team will conduct individual measurements for each room, discuss the scope of the project, and provide you with a comprehensive cost breakdown, ensuring complete transparency.
