Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: Does the process of concrete polishing create a lot of mess?
- A: During the concrete polishing process, our procedures prioritize minimizing dust production by utilizing water. While polishing can create a slurry, we employ high-quality equipment and our technicians have years of expertise in managing the extraction of this slurry. As a result, once the polishing is completed, your surfaces will be left in their optimal condition, ensuring they are in the best possible state.
- Q: What does the process of concrete strip and seal involve?
- A: Concrete strip and seal is a process that involves removing the existing coating or sealant from the concrete floor and then resealing it. Over time, concrete floors can become dull and lose their lustrous appearance, giving them an aged and unattractive look. By performing a strip and seal procedure, the old coating is stripped off, and a new sealant is applied, bringing back the beautiful and glossy appearance of the polished concrete. This process not only restores the aesthetic appeal of the floor but also eliminates the need for costly floor replacement. By opting for concrete strip and seal, you can revitalize your concrete floors and give them a fresh, new look without the expense of installing new flooring.
- Q: What is the optimal timing for sealing concrete, and how can I determine if my concrete surfaces require sealing at the present moment?
- A: The optimal time to seal your concrete is right after installation to provide immediate protection against staining and damage. As for determining if your concrete surfaces require sealing, there are a couple of indicators to look out for. Firstly, if you notice patchy areas on the floor where the sealant has worn off or is uneven, it is a clear sign that resealing is needed. Additionally, if your concrete is becoming more susceptible to staining and is no longer repelling liquids as effectively as before, it is a good indication that it is time to apply a fresh coat of sealer. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure that your concrete remains adequately protected and maintains its optimal appearance.
- Q: What are the reasons for considering the sealing of concrete surfaces?
- A: Sealing concrete surfaces is essential due to various factors that can cause deterioration and a decline in their appearance. Concrete is exposed to traffic, UV rays, moisture, rain, chemicals, and impurities like oil, gas, grease, acids, and salt, which can lead to common issues such as cracking, pitting, scaling, spalling, delamination, dusting, discoloration, efflorescence, and salt damage. By applying a concrete sealer, you can protect the surface and enjoy numerous maintenance benefits. High-quality sealers like Australia's Deepshield™ deep impregnating sealers provide effective protection and help maintain the integrity and aesthetics of the concrete surfaces.
- Q: What is the recommended frequency for sealing polished concrete floors?
- A: The recommended frequency for sealing polished concrete floors depends on factors such as the type of sealer used and the amount of foot traffic the floors are exposed to. Australia's Deepshield™ range of deep impregnating water-based sealers, for instance, offers long-term benefits, with Deepshield™ Gold providing protection for up to 15 years. On the other hand, topical sealers typically have a lifespan of around 3 years. However, it is important to note that high foot traffic or severe weather conditions, especially for outdoor concrete, can potentially shorten the lifespan of the sealer. Additionally, the condition of the surface plays a role in determining when resealing is necessary. If you notice patchy areas or the floors are staining easily, it may be a sign that resealing is needed.
