I believe that slate is a natural product quarried from the earth. It is still sold at retail outlets. One would think that would make it timeless.
Yes, you can paint stone. Paint does not have the durability of stone. It is not a natural product quarried from the earth.
Yes
Yes, you can paint it - but I would clean it real good and embrace it. Slate is making a comeback and it an expensive addition to your home. I recently toured a brand new home that was worth $500,000 and they had slate in the kitchen.
i would love to clean it but can’t break through to the original layer any suggestion? Seems that it has some kind of shiny coat on it so direct that was under still shows through
It is probably waxed, I had the same problem with this house we bought, I used ammonia and lots of ventilation.
Buy a nice big throw rug. Paint the walls, the ceiling but not the slate. Easier to cover it up and you can change the look buy putting down a new rug anytime you want.
