N-Motion offers professional slate restoration and sealing for residential and commercial customers throughout the Atlanta, GA Metro area.

Slate

Slate is a metamorphic rock, meaning that it started out as one type of rock and “morphed” into something different. In the case of slate, it starts out as shale or mudstone. Compression and heat then change the minerals so the end result is slate.

Slate is prized for its rugged, natural character and rich array of color variations. Frequently used for flooring, countertops, and even roofing, slate brings a distinctive look and lasting durability to any space. However, like all natural stones, slate can experience several issues over time:

  • Flaking and Delamination: Due to its layered composition, slate can sometimes split or peel, especially in high-traffic areas or when exposed to moisture.
  • Stains and Discoloration: Spills of oil, acidic substances, or deeply pigmented liquids can create visible stains that penetrate the slate.
  • Scratches and Scuffs: Heavy use or dragging furniture across slate floors can leave scratches that dull the surface.
  • Chips and Cracks: Impacts, dropped objects, or structural stress may lead to chipping around the edges or noticeable cracks in the stone.
  • Dullness and Loss of Color: Over time, slate may lose its vibrant color and natural sheen due to improper cleaning methods or the breakdown of protective sealants.
  • Sealing Issues: If the protective sealant wears off, the stone can become more vulnerable to damage, staining, and moisture penetration.

At N-Motion Stone & Tile Care, we provide comprehensive slate restoration and maintenance services. From deep cleaning and polishing to repairing chips, sealing, and restoring color, our experienced team uses high-quality products and proven techniques to keep your slate looking its very best.

Slate Restoration, Protection, and Enhancing Services

We can resolve any problems associated with your slate surfaces, such as dullness, chipping, scratches or other damage, and apply color enhancing or topical sealers to achieve the finish you desire.

Slate Repairs

If your slate surfaces have become cracked, chipped, scratched, or otherwise damaged, N-Motion can resolve these issues, most often without need of replacement. We can also take care of any grout problems you may have with our deep-cleaning, sealing and repair services.

Slate Cleaning and Restoration

Over time, thick layers of soap residue, waxes, and other topical coatings can dull and hide the beautiful inherent colors and untamed charm of your slate floors and surfaces. The qualified technicians at N-Motion can strip away this dull buildup, as well as the dirt and contaminants it often traps, to reveal the naturally stunning surface underneath.

Cleft Finish Slate Expertise

In the wrong hands, your beautiful cleft slate surfaces can be easily damaged during deep cleaning or restoration. N-Motion has the knowledge of and expertise in the proper equipment, techniques and powders needed to ensure the lasting beauty of your installation. We are always available to answer any questions and to discuss the specific requirements of your unique slate surfaces.

Sealing & Color Enhancing

We can treat your slate with premium quality solutions…

Most — though not all — varieties of slate are virtually waterproof. This may mean sealing your slate is unnecessary, but it doesn’t necessarily mean sealing is undesirable. There are color enhancing sealers and coatings which can make the natural colors of your slate surfaces emerge more vibrantly. And, of course, for those types of slate which are not as waterproof as they could be, applying a sealer can further support their resistance to staining agents and weather conditions. 

N-Motion not only provides these services, we are also happy to discuss your specific needs and educate you on the best way to care for your unique slate type and installation. We are proud to recommend and supply stone-safe solutions for your regular cleaning and maintenance needs as well.
