FAQs

How do I prepare the tile surface before applying the sealer?

Clean the tiles thoroughly with a suitable cleaner to remove all dirt, grease, and existing sealers. Rinse well and allow the surface to dry completely before application.

What tools are best for applying the sealer?

A microfibre cloth, paint pad, or flat mop are recommended for applying the sealer evenly.

How long does it take for the sealer to dry?

Drying time depends on environmental conditions. It is usually quick, but always refer to the product instructions for specific recommendations.

Can I use this sealer on other types of tiles?

This sealer is specifically designed for porcelain and ceramic tiles. It is not recommended for use on other types of tiles. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

How often should I reapply the sealer?

Reapplication frequency depends on use and exposure. For high-traffic areas or external applications, you may need to reapply more frequently. Monitor the surface and reapply when the protection starts to diminish.

Is the sealer safe for use around children and pets?

Once the sealer is completely dry, it is generally safe. However, always ensure proper ventilation during application and drying.

What should I do if it rains shortly after applying the sealer externally?

If rain is forecast within 8 hours, the application is not recommended. If it rains shortly after application, the sealing process may be compromised, and you may need to reapply the sealer once the surface is completely dry.

Troubleshooting

Sealer appears patchy after drying.

Ensure you applied a thin, even coat. Over-application can lead to an uneven finish. Reapply a thin coat if necessary, once the surface is clean and dry.

The tiles still stain easily.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and allowed to dry completely before sealing. Check for complete coverage; reapply in areas where the sealer may have been missed.

The sealer is not providing the desired sheen.

The sheen provided is subtle; this is a characteristic of the product. If more gloss is desired, consider a different product designed to provide a higher shine. Ensure the product has been applied correctly.
