Slate is a fine-grained, durable flooring material. It is commonly used in domestic and commercial settings. Generally, slate is very tough, however, it can crack or scratch quite easily compared to other types of stone.
The TileMaster team in Belfast are specialists in slate floor restoration and we can help you with the deep cleaning, restoring, and polishing of your slate floor. We have years of experience and the best equipment and products needed to achieve the best results. Ingrained dirt, scuffs and scratches will be removed and we’ll apply a protective sealant to protect the floor in future. Once the restoration is finished the floor will have a freshly laid shine once again.
How to tell when your slate floor needs cleaning or restoration
To prevent any build-up of dirt and dust you must regularly sweep and dust your slate floor. However, to make sure your floor has the longest possible lifespan you should arrange a professional clean and polish often.
Several factors dictate how often your slate floors should be restored by professionals. The most important thing to note is the amount of foot traffic the slate floor receives. Commercial premises with high traffic areas frequently walked on by the public need a professional clean more often than a slate floor in a quiet home. Take a look at your slate floor and check for these common issues to help you decide when to book a professional restoration for your tiles. TileMaster Belfast can also help you in identifying any problems and can advise on how to fix them:
- Are your slate tiles dull?
- Has recent building work in your home or business left the slate tiles dirty?
- Do the tiles only look good when wet?
- Is the grouting discoloured or is it in a poor condition?
- Is mopping the floor no longer improving it?
- Are there stubborn marks that seem impossible to remove?
- Did the slate look better when it was new?
