Slate

Natural stone is a product of nature. No two tiles are exactly alike. Emser Tile recommends that a customer not purchase a tile based on the photo on this website. A customer should request a sample of the tile from their sales representative prior to making a final decision. Furthermore, Emser Tile requires that a customer inspects the purchased material prior to installation to check color, veining, thickness, sizing, and finish. Please ask for information on pre-sealing, sealing, and ongoing maintenance.

Types
• Natural Cleft (ungauged / uncalibrated): Cutting along the natural layers creates an uneven, undulating surface.
• Calibrated (gauged): Cutting each piece to a relatively uniform thickness.
• Tumbled: Rounding edges and corners achieves an antique look.

Special Considerations
• Natural shade variations are inherent in slate. Be sure to inspect multiple samples of the stone before selection to ensure satisfaction with colors and patterns.
• Shaling (material splitting from the surface) is possible. This will cease over time.

Maintenance
• Do clean slate with a dust mop and neutral cleaner to remove most dirt.
• Do use a penetrating sealer to prevent staining. Because slate is quite porous, excessive water may cause reactions such as oxidation (rust), spalling, deterioration of dry veins, etc. “Special Impregnating” sealers are recommended to avoid these problems. Emser representatives can suggest appropriate sealers.
• Do clean natural stones with “special stone cleaners”, “pH balanced cleaners” or “neutral base cleaners.”
• Do not clean any natural stone with acidic cleaners, including (but not limited to) vinegar or cleaners with “lemon” or “lime” on the label. These products will abrade the polish from the stone. Sealers DO NOT protect polished surfaces from these types of cleaners.
