Roger,
Cleaning slate is need on regular bases, just as any other stone
there are pores within the stone that will trap dirt and needs to be cleaned. Regarding
sealing of slate depending upon the finish the customer wants there are several
sealers you can use.
1.
Impregnating Sealer
2.
Color Enhancing Sealer
3.
Stone Loc which is a topical seal BUT allows the stone to
breath, this product can deliver a mat to a gloss finish.

I get request to clean and seal slate. My question
does slate really needs to be sealed? The slate is always a dark color so it
normally does not look dirty. I really don’t see the need for cleaning it
the same as I would a dirty limestone floor. What are your thoughts? Thanks, Roger Konarski |
