Hi Alex, Welcome! :)

What kind of slate did you install in your shower. Typically, it's one of the worst materials that can be selected for a shower.

Are you willing to change you mind to enhanced vs. glossy? :shades:

A glossy finish would require a topical coating (which I highly recommend against). The actual type of slate will also dictate some possible solutions, which will all require a degree of maintenance.

Hi,

MSI multi-colored slate (Product of China), purchased from Home Depot. I also hand picked the most durable looking pieces that would not flake away in the shower. I would go with an enhansed look, as long as it's the right kind of product.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Alex,

The attractive hues within this stone are of ferric origin, this though is a double edge sword as ferric materials have a tendency to oxidize with the potential for iron oxide precipitation.

Welcome, Alex. :)

Michael (Stonehenge) says your slate can rust. :D

My opinion; worth price charged.
