Slate is a metamorphic rock formed from clay rock and sedimentary shale (sometimes quartzite). The current colors are mainly light blue, black, light green, pink, brown, light gray, yellow, etc. Slate is not only rich in texture, but also hard in texture, quaint color, low water absorption, no radiation pollution, and has the characteristics of matt, non-slip, acid and alkali resistance, fire and cold resistance, weathering resistance, and good compatibility.
Slate refers to the commercial name of rock that can be peeled off into slabs, commonly known as tile slate, slate, and bluestone slabs. In petrology, it is a metamorphic rock formed from clay rock and sedimentary shale (sometimes from quartzite). Slate is formed by regional shallow metamorphism of claystone, siltstone, or intermediate-acid tuff. Slate has a special plate-like structure-slab structure. It is not only easy to split along the board, but also the surface is very flat after splitting. Slate is not only rich in texture, but also hard in texture, quaint color, low water absorption, no radiation pollution, and has the characteristics of matt, non-slip, acid and alkali resistance, fire and cold resistance, weathering resistance, and good compatibility.
At present, many countertops are made of slate. This article briefly introduces the cleaning and maintenance of slate countertops.
Slate countertop description:
Slate is gorgeous countertop material. It has a beautiful texture, usually dark blue and green.
Advantages of slate countertops:
The surface of the slate slab has strong heat resistance. It has fewer pores than granite or marble, making it resistant to stains and corrosion.
Disadvantages of slate countertops:
Slate is more expensive, it is not as hard as marble and granite. , It is more prone to cracks than other stone materials. Do not use abrasive cleaners or oil-based sprays to clean the slate.
Slate countertop cleaning:
Use a microfiber cloth to remove dust once a week. Clean with a damp cloth and a stone cleaner with a neutral pH.
Slate countertop maintenance:
Even if the slate stone slab has good stain resistance, it is recommended that you seal the slate countertop. When the water droplets do not form water droplets on the surface of the countertop, it means that it should be resealed.
