Slate Services

Slate is a beautiful and unique type of natural stone that adds elegance and beauty to countertops, floors, and more! Builders have used slate for thousands of years, and it is known for its durability, but it can also be prone to scratches, chips, etching, and other damage. Statewide Stone Care provides professional slate polishing, repair, and restoration services in New York. We have the experience and expertise needed to restore your slate surface to like-new condition.

Properties of Slate

Slate is a metamorphic rock that is formed when shale or clay undergoes high temperatures and pressures. It has a natural cleavage, which means that it can easily be split into thin sheets. Slate is comprised of a variety of minerals like quartz, mica, and chlorite that are so finely grained that when it is split, it has a very smooth, flat texture. These qualities make slate a popular material for countertops, slab floors, slate tile flooring, and even roofing.

Benefits of Slate

Slate is an excellent choice of natural stone for floors and counters for a variety of reasons:

It is naturally stain-resistant – Slate is non-porous, so water and oils tend to clean off easily without staining the stone.

It is fire- and heat-resistant -This makes slate an ideal material for use around fireplaces or in outdoor kitchens.

It is durable and scratch-resistant – Slate is a very hard stone, so it holds up well against heavy use.

It has a natural grip – Slate is considered a non-slip surface, which makes it excellent for flooring in particular.

It is easy to clean and maintain – Slate generally requires less maintenance than other types of stone like marble or granite.

It affords a dark, earthy appearance – Slate comes in a variety of colors including shades of gray, green, and black. Its dark tones can give any space a rich, luxurious look.

While slate is highly durable, it can be susceptible to damage just like any stone surface. Slate can chip or crack with hard impacts, and it can also be dulled by soap residue because alkaline cleaners may etch the surface. At Statewide Stone Care, we can resolve virtually any type of slate problem you may have. We proudly offer the following services.
