The Saltillo tile restoration and refinishing process.
- Initial Assessment
- We inspect the condition of the tile and existing sealers.
- Then we determine whether stripping is necessary based on buildup, discoloration, or seal failure.
- Stripping (if needed)
- Old or failing sealers are stripped using professional-grade stripping agents.
- This allows for proper adhesion of new sealant and a uniform finish.
- Care is taken not to damage the porous Saltillo tile surface during this process.
- Thorough Cleaning
- After stripping, tiles are deep-cleaned to remove embedded dirt, stains, and residues.
- Specialized tools and cleaners are used to clean the tile and grout without etching the surface.
- Neutralization of the Tile Surface
- Critical step: A pH-neutralizing rinse is applied to balance the tile's surface before sealing.
- This prevents chemical reactions between remaining cleaner residues and new sealers.
- Most companies skip this step, but skipping neutralization can lead to seal failure or hazy finishes.
- Dry Time and Moisture Testing
- Tiles are allowed to fully dry before sealing, ensuring no moisture is trapped beneath the surface.
- Moisture meters may be used to confirm readiness.
- Sealing the Tile
- A high-quality penetrating or surface sealer is applied, depending on the desired finish (matte, satin, gloss).
- Multiple coats (usually 4) are applied for durability and enhanced color.
- Proper sealing protects against stains, moisture, and wear.
- Final Buffing and Detailing
- Once sealed, the surface is buffed (if needed) and edges are cleaned for a crisp, finished look.
