Other FAQs :
- Q: What is acid etching and how can I protect my Donnybrook Stone against it?
- A: Any acidic substance is harmful for your Donnybrook Stone, they can be etched (eaten/corroded) easily and sealing against acid attack is very difficult. The best way to protect your Donnybrook Stone tiles from acid attack is to seal and clean spills immediately. The high porosity of stone based tiles makes sealing a must in order to provide protection against future acid attack and liquid spillage.
- Q: How long does it take for my Donnybrook Stone tiles to dry?
- A: It takes 4 hours to be touch dry and normally 24 hours for the sealer to fully cure, which is when you can put everything back into place. Nothing hard such as furniture can be moved on to the tiles and grout for at least 24 hours.
- Q: Will the sealer make my Donnybrook Stone floors slippery?
- A: Deepshield™ Impregnating Penetrating Sealer does not alter the slipperiness of your Donnybrook Stone tiles' surface as the sealer penetrates the top layer of your Donnybrook Stone. Topical Sealer may result in your Donnybrook Stone floors becoming slippery when wet. To maintain the look and slip resistance of your Donnybrook Stone and to prevent damaging moisture from being trapped within the stone, it is recommended to seal your surfaces with a high quality, invisible, fully breathable impregnating sealer.
- Q: How do I know if my Donnybrook Stone floors need sealing?
- A: Tile Cleaners® advise a "water test". First you need to place a few drops of water on your stone and let it set for around 10 to 30 minutes then wipe it dry. If your stone did not darken, it means your Donnybrook Stone is perfectly sealed and does not require sealing, but if it has darkened, it means that the water was able to penetrate your stone and sealing is required.
- Q: Why is it important for me to have my Donnybrook Stone sealed?
- A: Sealers are different from polishes and are actually designed to keep liquids and dirt particles from sinking into the natural stone. It is extremely important to have your Donnybrook Stone sealed. All Donnybrook Stone should be sealed when first installed; this initial seal can last up to 15 years. It is important to call us as soon as your Donnybrook Stone floors are installed so we can protect them before any accidental permanent damage occurs.
