    Default Restoring black slate tiles - Help.

    Hi,

    My second post but this time it about restoring the existing slate flooring in the kitchen. The size of the floor area I think is around 150sq ft. I’m led to believe that it was installed around 5 years ago. I think it ‘rivened’ and is either a black or dark grey.

    However it just looks a mess and we want to restore and protect the slate flooring and looking for advice on how to do this in terms of products to use and method.

    Here is a link picture of the floor so you can see for yourself the condition.

    I’ve come across the product range of Lithofin mentioned on this forum and it sounds like it’s has the range of products to help me with my task. If Lithofin products is what I need then which ones in particular?

    Main aim is to clean, restore and protect. Any ongoing maintenance please let me know.

    Thanks in advance.
