Slate floors can be sealed with a topical slate sealer to provide a glossy look or with a penetrating slate sealer with a color enhancer. Slate services include: Slate stripping, slate cleaning, and slate sealing.

Types of Natural Stone Floors: Limestone

Limestone: Limestone is an organic sedimentary rock formed by tiny shells and micro skeletons molded together with heat and pressure. Limestone floors are the softest and most porous type of natural stone floors. Most limestone will not polish to more then a dull shine. Limestone cleaning with a stone detergent and a hot water extraction cleaning will restore a dirty limestone. Limestone grinding will smooth a rough or unleveled limestone floor and opens fresh new stone to the surface bringing back the new look of the limestone floor. Limestone floor maintenance includes: Limestone cleaning, limestone leveling, limestone polishing, and limestone sealing.
