Q. Why is it important to have my tile and grout sealed?
A. Sealing your Tile and Grout is the only way to protect your investment from water-based and oil-based stains.  A sealer prevents a spill from penetrating into the porous surface and gives you time to clean it.

Q. How does a sealer protect my floor?
A. The pores of the natural stone or tile and grout absorb the penetrating sealer.  It fills the "nooks and crannies" so wet stains cannot get below the surface and soil sits on the surface until it is swept or wiped away.

Q. How is the sealer applies?
A. First the surface is cleaned, neutralized and fully dried.  Then, multiple coats of sealer are applied and allowed to abosrb into the material.  Finally, the excess sealer is buffed off the surface and allowed to cure.

Q. What do sealers protect against?
A. A penetrating sealer repels water-based and oil-based liquids, prevents stains caused by most food and beverages, and protects the surface from dirt and impurities.

Q. Does a sealer alter the appearance of tile and grout?
A. No.  Our sealers protect without changing the original color, texture, feel, or appearance of the surface.  However, we also offer color-enhancing sealers for interior natural stone, marble, granite, limestone and masonry surfaces.

Q. Is sealer expensive?
A. Our sealing programs are affordably priced and can actually SAVE you money in cleaning and replacement costs.

Q. Didn't my tile contractor seal my floors when he installed them?
A. Most contractors just don't have the time to go back and seal the grout after they install the tile.  A recent survey showed that about 80% of tile installations are NOT sealed.  But it's never too late.  Tile Revive can still protect your floors and hard surfaces with an impregnating sealer and, with two warranties to choose from, you can't go wrong!

Q. Do you have different sealers to choose from?
A. Yes.  We have a wide assortment of sealers, designed for a variety of surfaces and conditions.  Some are designed for interior use only, others for exterior use.  Some protect against water only, others against water and oil.  Some are designed for high porosity surfaces, such as limestone, slate, brick, and concrete.  Tile Revive will help you select the most suitable sealer for your application.

Q. Wil my floor ever need to be professionally cleaned and sealed again?

Yes.  Tile Revive can provide periodic maintenance cleaning and re-sealing to keep your floors in top condition.  The frequency will depend on teh sealer selected, the amount of traffic on the floors, frequency of spills, etc.  Sealers make maintaining your floors much easier, more effective, and can extend the life of your investement.
