Slate tiles are durable and forgiving materials. They are typically sealed to reduce maintenance and to retain shine.

Older slate floors are usually sealed with a solvent sealer which goes yellow over time. Stripping solvent can be very difficult as it was formulated to be a ‘lifetime sealer’ are was never made to be stripped. However, as technology has improved, new sealers no longer go yellow. By using a combination of cleaning agents and equipment, Tile & Stone Cleaners can remove your old solvent sealer and reseal it with a xylene or water based sealer that will not alter in appearance over the years and also protect your slate floors.

Once resealed, your slate floors can be maintenance friendly and stain-free.
