Transform Your Floors with Tilecare - The Premier Floor Refinishing Service
Slate tiles were traditionally known for roofing, but due to their durable and dense properties, they have low porosity and are versatile for both floor and wall tiles. Slate tiles are available in a wide array of rich colors, ranging from greys, blacks, and greens to rich yellows and reds, depending on the source of the slate (UK, China, Brazil). As a natural floor stone, it comes in a rough riven finish or honed smooth, with a natural matt appearance, or alternatively polished to a shine. In high-usage areas such as entrance/reception floors and kitchens, slate can easily become scratched and marked, leaving a dull appearance. However, the use of professional impregnating color intensifiers will deepen the natural colors of the slate. The preparation, cleaning, and resealing of slate tiles is a skilled process involving honing and polishing techniques to remove deep scratches and stains, returning the slate to its natural condition before applying the final protective finish.
At Tilecare, we take great care to ensure that the correct cleaning products and procedures are used so as not to damage any tile or grout. To that end, we always test a small area first to ensure the client is completely satisfied with the result, preserving the appearance of the slate and maintaining the long-term beauty and luster of your natural slate floor.
