Slate Insights
What is Slate?
When treated with a color enhancing sealer, many slate tiles come alive with rich colors.
Slate Care and Maintenance
We can resolve any problems associated with your slate surfaces, such as dullness, chipping, scratches or other damage, and apply color enhancing or topical sealers to achieve the degree of luster you desire.
Cleft Finish Slate Expertise
In the wrong hands, your beautiful cleft slate surfaces can be easily damaged during deep cleaning or restoration. MarbleKare USA has the knowledge of and expertise in the proper equipment, techniques and powders needed to ensure the lasting beauty of your installation. We are always available to answer any questions and to discuss the specific requirements of your unique slate surfaces.
Slate Repair
If your slate surfaces have become cracked, chipped, scratched, or otherwise damaged, MarbleKare USA can resolve these issues, most often without need of replacement. We can also take care of any grout problems you may have with our deep-cleaning, sealing and repair services.
Slate Cleaning
Over time, thick layers of soap residue, waxes, and other topical coatings can dull and hide the beautiful inherent colors and untamed charm of your slate floors and surfaces. The qualified technicians at MarbleKare USA can strip away this dull buildup, as well as the dirt and contaminants it often traps, to reveal the naturally stunning surface underneath.
Sealing & Color Enhancing
We can treat your slate with premium quality solutions…
Most — though not all — varieties of slate are virtually waterproof. This may mean sealing your slate is unnecessary, but it doesn’t necessarily mean sealing is undesirable. 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.
