Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: Which sealer is recommended for use on travertine pavers surrounding a pool area?
• A: The recommended sealer to use for travertine pavers around the pool is our high-quality Impregnating Penetrating Water Based Sealer. This sealer provides comprehensive protection to the travertine, ensuring its durability and preventing any potential slipperiness that may arise with other sealers.
• 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: What is the process involved when you come to reseal my travertine floors?
• A: When we come to reseal your travertine floors, our professional team will guide you through the entire process. First, any previous sealer, if present, will be stripped off. Next, we will thoroughly clean and neutralize the travertine to ensure it is free from dust, residue, and other contaminants that can affect the new sealer. Once the travertine is dry, we will apply a new sealer and allow it to set. This process will not only rejuvenate the appearance of your travertine floors but also provide long-lasting protection, making maintenance easier for you.
• Q: Do you offer color enhancing services for travertine? If yes, could you provide an explanation of the process involved in color enhancement?
• A: Absolutely, we provide color enhancing services specifically designed for travertine. The color enhancement process involves the application of a specialized compound that enriches and intensifies the natural appearance of the travertine. By applying the color enhancer, the tiles' tones and hues are deepened, bringing out the inherent beauty of the travertine material. This treatment imparts a subtle wet or low sheen finish, enhancing the overall visual appeal of your travertine surfaces. Our color enhancing services are aimed at highlighting the unique characteristics and enhancing the aesthetics of your travertine.
• Q: Does Tile Cleaning offer assistance with moving furniture when sealing the floor?
• A: Tile Cleaning provides assistance with moving furniture during the floor sealing process. Their team of dedicated technicians is available to help with the relocation of furniture items that can be reasonably managed by one person, such as those with wheels or lightweight furniture like tables and chairs. However, it is important to keep in mind that while Tile Cleaning takes precautions to protect your belongings, they cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur during the furniture moving process. To ensure the safety of valuable or fragile items, it is recommended to either relocate them to a secure area or properly secure them before the technicians arrive. By taking these necessary precautions, you can help ensure the safety of your furniture and minimize the risk of potential damage while the floor sealing process is being carried out.
