Slate Tile Restoration

Slate is a highly porous natural stone material. If not properly polished or sealed, it will be extremely susceptible to liquid absorption and staining. Its surface has natural grooves and pockets (even in seemingly smooth tile) that will hold dirt and debris and pre-chewed food. The tile itself can be damaged and scratched by everyday grit and grime if it is not protected.
