Slate

Slate floors can be showstoppers — in a good way or a bad one. Beautiful, well-maintained slate creates a positive impression with the perfect blend of elegance and informality, but slate that is dull, chipped, scratched, or otherwise damaged creates quite the opposite impression.

Slate is a unique stone, and restoration methods for slate are very different than that of marble or granite. If you have slate floors that need some professional attention, they should not be entrusted to just any stone restoration contractor.

The highly trained technicians at Atlantic Stone & Tile Care have the knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to resolve virtually any problems associated with your slate floors, walls, or other slate surfaces, and can apply color enhancing or topical sealers to achieve the finish you desire.

Slate Cleaning and Restoration

Over time, thick layers of soap residue, waxes, and other topical coatings can dull and hide the inherently beautiful colors and untamed charm of your slate floors and surfaces. We can strip away this dull buildup, as well as the dirt and contaminants it often traps, to reveal the naturally stunning surface underneath.

Sealing and Protecting Slate

Most — though not all — varieties of slate are virtually waterproof. This may mean sealing your slate is unnecessary. Even so, sealing may be desirable, because there are color enhancing sealers and coatings which can make the natural colors of your slate surfaces emerge more vibrantly. And, of course, for those types of slate which are not as waterproof as they could be, applying a sealer can further support their resistance to staining agents and weather conditions.
