I sure you will be impressed with these images from a Quarry Tile floor we did in Weldon recently. This quarry tiles were laid in the kitchen all the way to the dining room, hallway and down stairs cloakroom, at total of around 40sq metres
The tiles were recently installed and the customer called us in because they were not contented with the final result. This can be a common problem with Tilers who do a great job of leveling, tiling and grouting the floor but not knowledgeable enough about sealers. They were hoping for a high gloss finish but were left with a very dull and patchy floor.
Quarry Tile Floor Cleaning
We clean the entire floor first using Tile Doctor Pro-Clean agitated by a rotary machine fitted with a black pad. This strips most of the sealer, however, we encountered more problems with grout haze which had been trapped underneath the sealer and had not been cleaned off properly to begin with. Also there were still patches of the original sealer which had been applied over a damp floor. The grout haze was removed by hand with wire bushes and more Pro-Clean and then the entire area was blanket stripped. This is an interesting technique unique to Tile Doctor which involves applying Remove and Go mixed with Nanotech Ultra-Clean to tiles and then covering in plastic sheeting and left for several hours to allow to soak into tiles. We then used a steam stripper and a wet vacuum to pick up to remove and rinse off the products. The area was then left to dry for 2 days assisted by dehumidifiers.
Quarry Tile Floor Sealing
After this time we returned to the site to take damp metre readings and once we were happy that all areas were dry, we then applied 5 coats of Tile Doctor Seal and Go to safeguard the floor and provide a high gloss finish that the customer requested.
