Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: Can the act of sealing travertine floors effectively conceal scratches and etches?
- A: Tile Cleaning offers a colour enhancing sealer that may assist in concealing scratches; however, we cannot guarantee a complete restoration of the original condition. The Deepshield™ Penetrating Colour Enhancing Sealer has the ability to darken travertine tiles by up to 20% and can help camouflage etches, providing a renewed, natural appearance to your travertine floors.
- Q: Does the sealer affect the slipperiness of travertine floors?
- A: The effect of a sealer on the slipperiness of travertine floors depends on the type of sealer used. Deepshield™ Impregnating Penetrating Sealer, for example, does not alter the slipperiness of the travertine surface as it penetrates the top layer of the tiles. However, using a topical sealer may increase the slipperiness of travertine floors when wet. To maintain both the appearance and slip resistance of your travertine while preventing moisture damage, it is recommended to apply a high-quality, invisible, fully breathable impregnating sealer to the surfaces.
- Q: How much time is required to reseal my travertine floors?
- A: The duration of resealing your travertine floors can vary depending on the size of the area being treated. Typically, most jobs are completed within a time frame of 4 to 8 hours. At Tile Cleaners®, we strive to complete both the cleaning and resealing process on the same day to minimize inconvenience and eliminate the need for multiple appointments.
- Q: How can I determine if my travertine floors require sealing?
- A: Tile Cleaners® recommend conducting a simple "water test" to determine if your travertine floors need sealing. This well-known test in the stone industry involves placing a few drops of water on the stone and allowing it to sit for approximately 10 to 30 minutes. Afterward, wipe the water dry. If the stone does not darken, it indicates that your travertine is already sealed and does not require additional sealing. However, if the water causes the stone to darken, it suggests that the water was able to penetrate the stone, indicating the need for sealing.
- Q: What is the payment method for sealing my travertine tiles?
- A: Tile Cleaners® follow a pricing model based on the square meter measurement for each individual room when charging for sealing travertine tiles. You can find a detailed price list on the Tile Cleaners® website for your reference. Prior to commencing the project, the team will accurately measure each room, discuss the scope of work to be undertaken, and provide you with a comprehensive cost breakdown to ensure transparency and clarity.
