Slate Cleaning San Diego
San Diego Tile Grout Cleaning Is The Perfect Stone Care Provider To Meet Slate’s Special Needs
Slate is a magnificent stone, and if you looked at it today, you would never guess that it was once nothing more than an old body of water. However, the remnant of this antiquated mud is significant because it gives slate its thick, impermeable makeup and greatly increases its resistance to stains and etching. Due to its sheet-like cleavage planes, which are readily divided into tiles, the way the slate was made is also to blame.
Slate is a popular choice for many internal and exterior uses, including walls, flooring, fireplaces, countertops, patios, walkways, and even roofing shingles, thanks to its durability and wide range of attractive color options.
Slate can last for decades with only a little expert maintenance. San Diego Tile Grout Cleaning can provide the services you require at a very reasonable cost because we are fully aware of the type of care that slate requires.

In most cases, a little washing, steps to lessen scratches and chip repair, and the application of a fresh layer of premium sealant enhancement are all that are required to restore the fresh appearance of your slate.
Sanitizing: Because slate is dense and has few pores, extra care must be taken.
You want to make sure that your property is as safe and sanitary as you can as a homeowner or company owner. One of the simplest methods to do this is to clean the slate. We’ll support you in creating the ideal plan for your particular requirements.
Sealing: From a care perspective, slate doesn’t really need to be sealed because it is very thick, has low porosity, and is well resistant to staining. However, for cosmetic reasons, you might want to use an improved sealer. The sealant will make the stone feel “wet,” enhancing its color vibrancy. At San Diego Tile Grout Cleaning, we use top-notch supplies to deliver superior slate sealing services. To ensure that the sealant adheres correctly, we also make sure the slate is clean and dry before applying it. We can apply an anti-slip sealant to slate flooring to help safeguard you, your family, and any visitors to your home or place of work
