Who says slate floors are behind the times? We still find a slate floored home a treat for the eyes. Therefore, when it comes to the maintenance of slate floors, we are ready to provide assistance.

Slate tiles, being unique due to their one of a kind nature, are equally difficult to maintain. We provide our best services at slate cleaning Carlton, slate resealing Carlton. Even though slate floors are least vulnerable to deterioration and wear and tear among other types of tiles, there is a certain amount of maintenance that is required to keep a slate them looking attractive. The effort and time required to uphold the look of slate tiles can be judged from the fact that during installation, the tiles must be sealed both with a penetrating sealer to close tiny pores in the stone, then a surface sealer to create a protective surface. Since the installation of slate floors requires the application of both penetrating as well as surface sealers because the material of slate is highly porous and penetrating sealer is required to fill in those pores. Then after installation, a surface sealer is applied to form a protective and stain-resistant coat over the tiles.

The grout lines on slate tile are also vulnerable to external contamination and deterioration. Any movement in the floor can cause the grout lines to crack, and they can be susceptible to stains, mould and mildew, especially in damp locations. Regular sealing and re-grouting can be helpful in this context. The cleaning and maintenance of slate tiles often put people in a fix, given the fact that a variety of slates exist all of which originate from various geographical regions. The method of cleaning and tools involved vary with every slate type. But why worry? Leave the cleaning and resealing to us!

Slate cleaning Carlton and the slate resealing Carlton procedure is similar to that of tile cleaning and resealing, the only difference is that it is not required for slate as often as it is for tiles.

The process of slate resealing also involves the same steps as that of tile resealing. The previous coat of sealer is removed, taking with it all the dirt and debris leaving the tiles spotless. Then, to maintain that spotlessness, a fresh layer of sealer is applied which provides immunity to the tiles against any future contamination.
