Quarry tile floor clean and wax in Radlett
This quarry tiled floor is being restored in Radlett Hertfordshire WD 7. Gills Hill.
This is the original floor for this house built in 1910 and the owners have introduced new quarry tiles on the upper lever to meet up with the original quarry tiles.
If its one thing that is certain, it’s the fact that many builders love trashing quarry tiles. They dont cover them up at all and literally cover them in plaster, cement, paint and whatever else they are working with!
Luckily we are able to deep clean quarry tiles removing the toughest dirt and stains. Quarry tiles are pretty resistant to chemicals so we are quite free to use whatever we need to remove a particular stain or something that shouldn’t be there. This includes acidic detergents which helps us remove cement residue and old plaster that has been left on the tiles.
With this original quarry tile floor we applied a natural bees wax finish . This area of the house did not have heating and was subject to rising damp and bees wax is permeable allowing the tiles to breath properly so that moisture vapour and salts etc are able to rise to the surface of the wax finish.
This whole job was relatively quick and we cleaned it all in a day. We then sealed and applied the wax in about 4 hours the following day when the tiles had dried
