Frequently Asked Questions
- A: Acid etching refers to the process in which acidic substances can corrode or eat away at your marble tiles, causing damage. Protecting your marble against acid etching can be challenging as sealing alone may not provide complete defense. The most effective method to safeguard your marble tiles is to promptly seal them and clean any spills or acidic substances immediately. Since stone-based tiles, including marble, have high porosity, sealing is essential to provide protection against future acid attacks and liquid spillage. Taking these preventative measures will help preserve the integrity of your marble tiles.

- Q: What is the significance of sealing marble tiles?
- A: Sealing marble tiles is crucial as it provides a protective barrier against liquid spills and dirt particles that could penetrate the natural stone. Unlike polishes, sealers are specifically designed to prevent substances from sinking into the marble. It is highly recommended to have your marble tiles sealed, especially when they are first installed, as this initial seal can last for up to 15 years. It is advised to contact us promptly after the installation of your marble floors so that we can protect them from any potential permanent damage.

- Q: When is the best time to seal marble floors, and what are the indicators that suggest my marble floors are in need of sealing?
- A: The best time to seal marble floors is immediately after installation to provide proactive protection against accidental staining or damage. To determine if your marble floors require sealing, look for patchy areas on the floor where the sealant may have worn off. Additionally, if you notice that the marble tiles are becoming more susceptible to staining, it indicates that the existing sealer has deteriorated, and resealing is necessary to maintain the integrity and appearance of your marble floors. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure the long-term beauty and protection of your marble floors.
- Q: What does the term "sealer" refer to?
- A: When we talk about a "sealer," we are referring to a liquid or carrier that contains a resin. This substance is applied to porous surfaces, whether they are natural stone or man-made materials. The primary function of a sealer is to provide protection against staining caused by water and/or oil-based materials. By applying the sealer, you can prevent these substances from penetrating and staining the surface. Additionally, a sealer can enhance the overall cleaning results by making it easier to clean and maintain the surfaces effectively.
