Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic stone with a natural, textured surface used in floors, patios and feature walls. Natural slate is porous — without proper sealing it absorbs moisture, oils, food and cleaning chemicals almost immediately, leading to permanent staining and premature deterioration. Aus Floor Care applies high-quality penetrating sealers to slate across Melbourne, providing invisible protection that dramatically reduces stain risk, moisture ingress and surface wear — extending the life and beauty of your slate for years.
Foot traffic and everyday cleaning can gradually reduce the stone's natural appearance.

Resealing frequency depends on the specific slate surface and traffic levels. High-use slate benchtops may need resealing every 1–3 years; indoor slate floors every 3–5 years; outdoor slate paving annually. We perform a simple water-bead absorption test to determine exactly when your slate needs resealing.
Our standard penetrating sealers are completely invisible — no change to colour, sheen or texture of your slate. If you want to deepen or enrich the natural colour (popular for outdoor slate), we offer colour-enhancing sealers that intensify the stone's natural tones while providing full protection.
DIY sealers are available but professional application delivers significantly better protection. We use commercial-grade penetrating sealers not available in retail stores and apply them with techniques that ensure even, complete coverage. Incorrect DIY application can leave a visible white residue on slate that requires professional removal.
Absolutely — sealing over dirty or contaminated slate traps dirt permanently and prevents the sealer from bonding correctly. We always thoroughly clean and allow slate to dry fully before any sealer application. We recommend combining professional cleaning and sealing in the same visit.
