Slate Stone Cleaning
Due to the rigid uneven surface of slate, it can be a challenge for many homeowners to manage. Our proven Slate cleaning strategy ensures that your natural stone is properly cleaned and ready for use as quickly as possible. We use solutions that are specifically formulated for natural stone.
Slate Stone Sealing
Vinegar and lemon juice can leave permanent stains in Slate. Sealing Slate and resealing Slate as needed is vitally important. Stone Care of Arizona, LLC uses a specialized impregnating sealant that provides maximum protection against the staining of natural stone and especially protects Slate.
Slate Stone Polishing
At Stone Care of Arizona, LLC, we understand that Slate can only be polished if it has been properly honed until the surface is smooth. However, the most effective way to add a sheen to Slate is to apply a topcoat. A topcoat will not compromise the integrity of slate.
Slate Stone Honing
Slate is honed in only special instances. The rough jagged surface of Slate is indicative of its very nature. This is the reason honing of Slate is only performed when a smooth, uniformed surface is desired. We can provide proper consultation if honing is desired.
Slate Stone Stripping
As with most natural stones, special care must be taken when stripping Slate. However, Slate is a flaky natural stone that can easily chip. Stone Care of Arizona can ensure that the stripping process is executed with the greatest care, making certain that Slate is not damaged in the process.
Slate Stone Repair
Slate can break under impact and sometimes requires repair. At Stone Care of Arizona, we can repair Slate cracks, fissures and chips. Sometimes, tiles will need to be replaced. In other cases, some of the grout may be missing. Whatever the case may be, we are natural stone repair experts.
