slate floor

I like the slate, but I think I would have tried everything possible to repair\replace the old wood, just my opinion, I love a good hardwood floor.

i whole heartly agree with you,but out here in colorado you need a good area to brush the snow off and on to when you get in the house in the winter. plus a wet sleeping dog on hardwood is not a good thing.

That looks nice. We’re thinking about using slate on our front porch, mainly because it doesn’t look like it would be slick when wet. Thanks for the post.

I like it, looks very nice.

Thanks for the post.

Looks great. Slate it just gorgeous! One thing I would strongly suggest is to seal the crap out of the slate. Being a natural stone it is very porous and if it is in an area that will see a fair amount of weather/moisture mold can grow inside the stone as well as between the stone and sub floor. They recommend sealing slate about once a year or anytime you notice that water is absorbed into the stone. If it’s sealed the water will bead like on a waxed car.

That slate really sets of the entranceway.Nice color too.

very good job roper , when i lived up north we quite often put tile in front of the entrance door .

You did a nice job on the tile.

I would take tile over hard wood any day where I live. Too much dirt and rock around to scuff it up.. Looks great. My floor is brick.

Wow! What a great surprise! I’m so glad that you decided to pull up the carpet in your new house, because beneath it was a beautiful slate floor. It’s amazing that it was in such good condition, garage door repair orange county despite being in a bad shape near the door. Kudos to you for giving it a little help – it looks fantastic!
