Couldn't be better for your first slate job.
Couldn't be better for your first slate job.
Ignore the comments about ripping customers off - everyone has a first job in a different type of tile, knowing slate is not your usual type of tile you've been wise to seek advice before hand, that's sensible! My first slate Job was 95sqm of uncalibrated slate and I used a 4" grinder for it all, I was advised by a guy who only works with stone to not use a wet cutter unless plan on leaving all the cuts to dry out as shouldn't lay them wet, it was dusty as hell but turned out well haha! Remember to work clean whipe any mess off as soon as any touches the slate as it will stain and I'm sure you know to seal it before grout etc?

Primer the floor, lay the slate keeping it clean, wash the slate when finished so it's all clean, wait till 100% dry then seal, leave it on for around 20 minutes then whipe the excess off with a clean towel/cloth which doesn't contain fluff lol (try do this end of the day) then grout the next day, make sure it's all clean again and seal again, slates very time consuming but get that first seal on as soon as possible as we all know customers can make mistakes, like cleaning a leather sofa with detol cleaner when told to stay off...! Lol.
Are they calibrated or uncalibrated slate?
