Slatestone is the finest-grained metamorphic rock. It comprises micas and clay minerals that withstand chipping, fire and moisture. Slatestone's distinctive colour variations give any area a touch of uniqueness and natural beauty. It can go with a range of design styles, from modern to rustic. Even under severe weather, Slatestone's endurance guarantees that it will keep its beauty for many years.
No, they won’t easily chip off. Even though Slatestone is not as dense and strong as an alternative like Granite, it remains intact for ages when maintained properly. Over time, damage can be avoided and its integrity preserved with proper sealing. However, if it is subjected to severe force or impact, it may chip or shatter like any other natural stone. Slatestone can last for many years if it is regularly cared for and kept away from heavy, sharp items.
Yes, Slate tiles can also be used for patios. The most common way it is used is in the format of crazy pavers. Slate patios can be highly eye-catching and strengthen the visual appeal of your outdoor area. When originally installed, some stones may flake off a little, but this will stop and with proper upkeep, it will last for a long time.
Like every natural stone, Slate tiles should also be sealed to prevent staining or scratches. An annual sealant application should do the job well. By sealing them, you can prevent moisture absorption, which over time may cause discoloration or deterioration. The stone's inherent colour and texture are also enhanced, giving it a richer, more vivid appearance. To maintain continuous protection and maintain the stone's aesthetic appeal, you might wish to reapply the sealant in high-traffic areas every six to twelve months.
The best way to clean these tiles is with warm water and a soft mop. You can also use a pH-neutral cleaner. To keep the Slatestone tiles appearing brand new, wipe them clean with a moist cloth if necessary. Spills should be cleaned up right away to avoid discoloration, especially on porous stones like Slate. Make sure the tiles are dry after washing to prevent moisture accumulation. Acidic cleaners, such as the well-known vinegar and lemon oil mix, will etch and scrape the Slate by causing a violent chemical reaction. So, you must avoid using them to clean Slatestone tiles. Furthermore, the acidity will cause the stones’ sealer to disintegrate, allowing moisture to seep in and causing additional floor damage.
There are many finishes, however, we offer them in Natural Split finish which is one of the most popular ones in Australia. They are perfect for doing areas like the kitchen floor, kitchen walls, bathroom floors, walkways, courtyard, etc.
