Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: Does sealing tiles guarantee the prevention of stains?
• A: While sealing tiles creates a protective barrier that offers more time to clean up spills before they potentially stain the tiles, it does not guarantee absolute prevention of stains. It is important to promptly clean up spills and regularly remove dirt to minimize the risk of staining, even on a sealed surface. Sealing significantly reduces the likelihood of stains, but maintaining proper cleaning and maintenance practices is still crucial to keep your tiles in optimal condition.
• Q: Does the process of sealing tiles have the potential to alter the appearance of the surface?
• A: The effect of sealing on the surface's appearance can vary depending on factors such as the type of sealer used and the number of coats applied. Different sealers can produce different visual outcomes for the tiles. Some sealers may enhance the natural color and sheen of the tiles, while others may result in a more subdued or matte finish. It is important to consider your desired outcome and consult professionals for guidance in selecting a sealer that aligns with your aesthetic preferences and goals for the surface's appearance. By discussing your requirements, you can choose a sealer that enhances the overall look of the tiles to your satisfaction.
• Q: Is it possible to seal only the grout if the tiles cannot be sealed?
• A: Sealing the grout lines alone is indeed possible and highly recommended, especially if the grout is a light color. By sealing the grout, you can prevent stains and discoloration, ultimately extending its lifespan. This proactive measure can potentially save you the expense and effort of having to regrout the tiles within just a few years of installation.
• Q: What are the benefits of engaging a professional for tile sealing?
• A: Opting to hire a professional for tile sealing provides several benefits. Professionals possess the expertise and experience to choose the appropriate sealer type based on industry standards and the specific requirements of your tiles. They can also ensure a thorough and professional cleaning of the tiles before the sealing process. This step is crucial because sealing over dirt and imperfections can lead to the sealer trapping these blemishes, potentially affecting the desired outcome. By relying on professionals, you can have peace of mind, knowing that your tiles will be expertly cleaned and sealed using the appropriate techniques, ultimately resulting in optimal and long-lasting results.
• Q: What are the reasons for sealing tiles and grout?
• A: Sealing tiles and grout is an effective way to protect them from the various factors that can lead to deterioration and loss of appearance. Surfaces are constantly exposed to traffic, UV rays, moisture, rain, chemicals, and impurities like oil, gas, grease, acids, and salt. These elements can cause problems such as cracking, pitting, scaling, spalling, delamination, dusting, discoloration, efflorescence, and salt damage. By using high-quality sealers like Australia's Deepshield™ deep impregnating range, you can prevent unsightly stains, preserve the original color of the tiles, and keep your tiled floors looking their best for a longer period of time. Sealing offers excellent maintenance benefits and helps to maintain the overall quality and appearance of your tiles and grout.
