Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What are the different types of sealers available for sandstone tiles?
- A: There are various types of sealers available for sandstone tiles at Tile Cleaning. We offer a range of high-quality sealers that cater to different requirements. Whether you prefer an Impregnating Sealer or a Topical Sealer for your sandstone tiles, we have options to suit your needs. Our goal is to provide you with top-quality sealers that effectively protect and enhance the beauty of your sandstone tiles.
- Q: What are the indicators or signs that suggest my sandstone floors are in need of sealing?
- A: To determine if your sandstone floors require sealing, Tile Cleaning recommends conducting a simple "water test." This widely-used method in the stone industry can help assess the need for sealing. Start by placing a few drops of water on the stone surface and allowing it to sit for approximately 10 to 30 minutes. Afterwards, wipe the water dry. If your sandstone did not darken during this process, it indicates that your floors are adequately sealed and do not require additional sealing. However, if the water droplets caused darkening or were absorbed by the stone, it signifies that your sandstone is susceptible to water penetration, indicating the need for sealing.
- Q: What steps should be taken to prepare sandstone floors before the sealing process?
- A: Before we arrive to seal your sandstone floors, it is important to ensure that all furniture and items have been moved off the floors. By clearing the area, you provide our team with unobstructed access to the sandstone surfaces, allowing for a more efficient and effective sealing process.
- 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.
