Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What is the recommended waiting time before walking on sealed tiles or placing furniture back on them?
- A: The recommended waiting time before walking on sealed tiles and placing furniture back on them is typically around 4 hours. This allows the tiles to become touch dry, making it safe to walk on the surface and return most furniture items. However, it is important to avoid mopping the tiles or exposing them to moisture for at least 24 hours to prevent washing off the sealer. The sealer requires up to 24 hours to fully cure and provide optimal protection. It is also advisable to refrain from placing rugs on the floor for at least 24 hours, allowing the tiles to breathe until the sealer is completely cured. Following these guidelines ensures the best results and longevity of the sealer on your tiles.
- Q: What are the advantages or purposes of sealing tiles and grout?
- A: Sealing tiles and grout is essential to protect them from various factors that can cause deterioration and impact their appearance. Foot traffic, UV rays, moisture, chemicals, oil, grease, acids, and salt are among the culprits that can lead to problems like cracking, pitting, scaling, spalling, delamination, dusting, discoloration, efflorescence, and salt damage. To address these issues effectively, it is recommended to seal your tiles and grout using high-quality products like Australia's Deepshield™ deep impregnating range of sealers. Sealing provides excellent maintenance benefits by preventing unsightly stains, safeguarding against discoloration, and ensuring that your tiled floors maintain their optimal condition for an extended period. Applying a reliable sealer enhances the longevity and appearance of your tiles and grout, allowing them to withstand the test of time while preserving their visual appeal.
- Q: What is the purpose or rationale behind performing floor stripping?
- A: The purpose of floor stripping is to achieve the cleanest and most visually appealing results for your floors. When professionals perform this task, their objective is to meticulously remove the old sealer, ensuring a thorough process. This stripping sets the foundation for an effective cleaning procedure, followed by the application of a fresh sealer. By following this meticulous approach, the surfaces are revitalized, resulting in a pristine and immaculate appearance. Ultimately, the floor stripping process aims to deliver the freshest and cleanest outcome for your floors.
- Q: How can I determine the right time to seal my tiles, and what are the signs that indicate my tiles are in need of sealing?
- A: To determine the appropriate timing for sealing tiles, it is beneficial to adopt a proactive approach and seal them immediately after installation to prevent potential staining or damage. However, if you are considering sealing existing tiles, there are indicators to look out for. Keep an eye out for patchy areas on the floor where the sealer has worn off, or observe if the tiles are becoming more vulnerable to staining. These signs suggest that resealing is necessary to preserve the appearance of the tiles and provide effective surface protection.
- Q: What can one expect during the floor sealing process when professionals arrive?
- A: When our professional team arrives to seal your floors, you can expect a thorough and transparent process. We will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the entire process, ensuring effective communication. The sealing process typically begins with the potential removal of any previous sealer, if necessary. The floor will then undergo meticulous cleaning and neutralization to eliminate dust, residues, and other substances that could affect the performance of the new sealer. Afterward, a fresh layer of sealer will be applied, allowing sufficient time for it to set and cure properly. This will restore your floors to their original appearance while providing enhanced protection. Additionally, the sealed floor will be easier to maintain, reducing the effort required for routine cleaning and upkeep.
