It depends on the slate. Slate is known to chip and shale for about a year after application until it "settles," This is something that you just have to be aware of when it is applied. We recommend a penetrating stone sealer, either with color enhancement or not depending on the look that you like, and using Fabuloso all-purpose cleaner for every day cleaning. You could also consider a quartzite, which often has similar colors without the chipping.

We have excellent results with this material in kitchen applications. We suggest application of a good quality stone sealer and maintaining the stone surface with Soap to promote a patina. The end user should feel comfortable that they will have a long lasting, minimal care floor that will look super for years
