​SLATE & TERRACOTTA POLISHING
Terracotta and slate are both natural materials that have been used for centuries in homes around the world. Both materials have unique characteristics which make them ideal for flooring applications. The natural tones of terracotta can range from reds, browns, oranges, yellows and blacks while slate comes in an array of blues, greys and greens. When polished properly these two types of floors can be extremely attractive additions to any space.
Our process of terracotta or slate floor polishing involves using special tools such as grinders and buffers to remove existing sealant, wax, dirt, and debris from the surface while simultaneously buffing out scratches or other imperfections using our professional-grade equipment.
We will carefully prep the surface, and we will then apply either a sealer or wax depending on whether you want a glossy finish or a matte finish respectively. This will protect them against wear and tear over time as well as make them easier to clean due to their smoother texture after being treated with polish products.
Our floor polishing service also helps maintain the original colouration which may have faded over time due to its exposure to sunlight throughout the years.
Slate and Terracotta Floor Polishing
Another added bonus is that when we polish your slate or terracotta floors, it can also increase the resale value if you ever decide to put up your house for sale because buyers often prefer homes with newer-looking surfaces rather than ones that appear aged from years gone by without regular maintenance performed upon them now and again.
Terracotta and slate floor polishing provide homeowners with numerous benefits including increased lifespan for their existing surfaces and improved aesthetics, making it an excellent choice if you’re looking into revamping the look within any given room!
