TILE SEALING

Tile Sealing

Tile sealing is often not considered important but in our experience, it’s vital to not only the longevity of the tiles and grouting but effective in keeping overhead costs down. Tile sealing is important for tiles and grout to look and function better.

CleanCo. Coatings provide an extensive selection of sealers for any application, be it commercial or domestic, interior or exterior. The sealing of tiles and grout reduces the porosity of the materials, protecting the tiled surface increases its resistance to dirt, spills, staining and general wear. When sealing tiles and grout effectively they will last longer, look better and be easier to keep clean. The sealing of tiles is done to prevent staining from dirt, spills as well as protect the grout used to fill in the joints. Good quality tiles come at a cost so protecting your investment is a wise thing to do. Because once a stain is embedded in the tile, oftentimes, it’s impossible to remove. Grout is made of cement material, making it porous and in turn, can absorb liquids readily. Hence, grout sealing is necessary for your tile surfaces. In addition, grout sealing is necessary for preventing mould and mildew from growing. And any mould or mildew can have serious negative impacts on the building’s occupant’s health.

A common question we get asked is: how often to seal tiles? Tile sealant should be reapplied as needed. The easy way to tell is to put some water on it. If the water forms a droplet and rolls around then the surface is sealed. If it soaks in, then you know it’s time to seal. The general rule of thumb is about every year but this depends on the surface. 

Replacing tiles can be a very costly exercise. Experts can seal the tiles so that they will enjoy a longer life without having to be replaced all that often. Save time and money and let us ensure that your tiles are kept in perfect condition always.
