Slate tiles

I finished the test of the cleaning of slate tiles. When dry we applied 2 x coats of a oil an water repellent. After cleaning the tiles with correct products the original colours really came out.

Slate Tiles

by Mark on September 29, 2009

Two big days preparing large 900 x 900 slate tiles in driveway,  entrance, surrounding pool and side of house. After scrubbing with a heavy duty detergent it appears that the tiles were not cleaned properly previously (3 years) and a grout haze has remained.

We ended up scrubbing with 3 detergents and neutralizing with S4S stone cleaner. a lot of work but the results are great.

Tomorrow we will seal the stone to protect against oil and water. Pictures and more later.
