Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of sealer is used and does it have any impact on the texture of granite tiles? - Tile and Grout Sealing | Sealing Granite Tiles

• A: Our sealing products exclusively consist of water-based formulas, avoiding the use of solvent-based sealers unless absolutely necessary. Applying the sealer will not alter the texture of your granite tiles in any manner. Instead, its primary function is to provide protection against staining while preserving the desired lustrous finish that you seek for your granite surfaces.

Other FAQs :

• Q: What is the estimated time frame required to reseal granite floors?
• A: The duration to reseal granite floors can vary based on the size of the area being sealed. In most cases, the process typically takes around 4 to 8 hours to complete. Our team is committed to completing both the cleaning and resealing tasks on the same day, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and ensuring convenience for our clients.
• Q: What are the indicators that suggest my granite floors require sealing?
• A: To determine if your granite floors require sealing, there are a few key signs to observe. If your granite floors start to appear dull or lose their shine, even after regular cleaning, it may indicate the need for stripping, cleaning, and resealing. Additionally, if you notice that your granite tiles are becoming easily stained, it suggests that the previous sealer has worn off, necessitating immediate resealing to prevent permanent staining. Monitoring these visual cues and taking prompt action can help maintain the quality and longevity of your granite floors.
• Q: What can I anticipate in terms of the process when you arrive to seal my granite floors?
• A: When our professional team arrives to seal your granite floors, they will provide a detailed explanation of the job processes, ensuring complete transparency. The process begins with stripping any previous sealer, if present, followed by a thorough cleaning and neutralization of the granite surface. This step is crucial to remove dust, residue, and any other substances that could impact the effectiveness of the new sealer. Subsequently, a fresh sealer is applied to the dry granite and allowed to set. The outcome of this process is revitalized granite that not only looks new but also gains enhanced protection. Additionally, the sealed granite surfaces become easier to maintain, contributing to their long-term durability and appearance.
• Q: What is the significance of sealing granite tiles?
• A: Sealing granite tiles is crucial as it serves the purpose of preventing liquids and dirt particles from penetrating the surface. Unlike polishes, sealers are specifically formulated to create a barrier that safeguards the granite surfaces. It is recommended to seal porous granite tiles after installation, and this initial seal can provide protection for up to 15 years, contingent upon the quality of the sealer used and the level of regular wear and exposure. To ensure the preservation of your granite tiles and prevent any accidental damage, it is advisable to contact us promptly after installation so that we can provide the necessary protection.
• Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a granite area?
• A: To accurately measure the size of a granite area, it is recommended to measure each area individually. The most straightforward method is to multiply the width of the area by its length. For instance, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 multiplied by 2, resulting in a total of 6 square meters. By measuring each granite area separately and calculating the total square meters, you can ensure precise measurements for accurate pricing and planning purposes.
