Other FAQs :

• Q: Which sealer is recommended for sealing sandstone pavers around a pool area?
• A: When it comes to sealing sandstone pavers around a pool area, we highly recommend our premium Impregnating Penetrating Water Based Sealer. This high-quality sealer is specifically designed to provide comprehensive protection to your sandstone pavers, penetrating deep into the stone to shield it from potential damage. Additionally, this sealer eliminates the slipperiness that can be associated with other sealers, ensuring a safer surface for walking on the sandstone pavers. Trust our Impregnating Penetrating Water Based Sealer to effectively safeguard your sandstone pavers while preserving their natural beauty.
• Q: What measures can be taken to maintain the new appearance of sealed sandstone tiles?
• A: To maintain the fresh appearance of your sealed sandstone tiles, Tile Cleaners® suggests regular cleaning on a weekly basis using a mild detergent. This will help remove any dirt or grime from the surface of the sandstone while ensuring that the sealer remains unaffected. It is crucial to avoid using strong detergents that have high acidity or alkalinity as they may compromise the integrity of the sealer. Instead, opt for mild detergents and pH-neutral substances for safe and effective cleaning. Furthermore, the best way to protect your sandstone tiles from staining and maintain their pristine condition is to seal them with one of our top-quality sealers. Sealing provides the optimal safeguard against potential stains and enhances the longevity of your sandstone tiles.
• Q: What is the estimated drying time for sandstone tiles after they have been sealed?
• A: After the sandstone tiles have been sealed, they typically take around 4 hours to become touch dry. However, it is important to note that the sealer requires approximately 24 hours to fully cure. During this curing period, it is recommended to avoid placing any heavy objects, such as furniture, on the tiles or grout. To ensure the best results and longevity of the seal, it is advised to wait at least 24 hours before placing any items back onto the sealed sandstone tiles.
• Q: Does the application of sealer make sandstone floors slippery?
• A: When using Deepshield™ Impregnating Penetrating Sealer, there is no impact on the slipperiness of your sandstone floors. This sealer is designed to penetrate the top layer of the sandstone, preserving its natural slip resistance. However, it's worth noting that applying a Topical Sealer may potentially make the sandstone floors slippery when wet. To maintain both the appearance and slip resistance of your sandstone surfaces, it is advisable to opt for a high-quality, invisible, and fully breathable impregnating sealer. This type of sealer ensures that your sandstone is protected from damaging moisture while retaining its original slip resistance.
• Q: Can sealing my sandstone floors conceal scratches and etches on the surface?
• A: While Tile Cleaners®'s color enhancing sealer can potentially assist in concealing scratches on your sandstone floors, it's important to note that it cannot guarantee a complete restoration to their original condition. The Deepshield™ Penetrating Color Enhancing Sealer is designed to darken the sandstone tiles by up to 20% and may help camouflage etches, ultimately revitalizing the appearance of your sandstone floors. However, the extent to which scratches and etches can be hidden or diminished will depend on their severity and the overall condition of the tiles. For the best outcome, it is recommended to consult with professionals who can assess your specific situation and provide appropriate guidance.
