The Smoky Agate Stone Slab combines luxury with practicality, making it a premier choice for flooring in high-moisture environments such as bathrooms, shower rooms, and wet zones. With a rich smoky hue and captivating natural patterns, it brings elegance to any space while offering a variety of surface treatments to enhance slip resistance and maintain long-term beauty.

Anti-Slip Surface Options for Shower and Bathroom Flooring

To optimize safety without sacrificing style, the Smoky Agate Stone Slab can be processed with several anti-skid treatments:

1. Knife Slot Finish

• Slot Spacing: 40–70mm (best anti-slip performance below 55mm)
• Advantages: No need for polishing after slotting
• Application: Ideal for outdoor or wet-area floors with direct water contact

2. Roman Groove Finish

• Groove Spacing: 50–100mm (best anti-slip performance below 70mm)
• Reprocessing Needed: Polishing required after grooving
• Application: Suitable for areas needing a refined, finished look

3. Pickling Surface Treatment

The pickling finish involves treating the stone with oxalic acid to corrode the surface, resulting in a non-slip, bumpy texture. Unlike grooved options, pickling creates a uniform surface without visible groove lines.

• Best Use: Shower floors and wet rooms where continuous surface traction is crucial
• Color Preference: Darker stone shades are recommended to mask long-term staining from bath products like shower gels and shampoos

Preventing Water Spots & Moisture Stains in Wet Environments

While visually stunning, natural stone like Smoky Agate is porous and susceptible to water spots if not treated correctly. When installed using cement wet-laying methods, moisture-absorbing substances can infiltrate the slab and cause persistent wet marks that ruin the appearance of the surface.

Key causes and solutions include:

Issue: Water spots caused by cement alkali-silicate gel absorbed into the stone

Visual Effect: Fixed-position wet marks that are difficult to dry, damaging aesthetics

Prevention Tips:

• Use dry-lay installation methods where possible
• Apply a penetrating sealer before and after installation
• Clean regularly to avoid buildup of soap and detergent residue
• Choose dark-colored slabs for better stain resistance in shower rooms
