Product Information
A cost effective slate tile with shades of black. Durable, rough and calibrated to 10mm - 12mm thickness although due to the riven surface the thickness may slightly vary. Suitable for both walls or floors. Since this is a slate tile, it is also normal to have slight width & length variations and a wider grout joints.
Installation & Care
All products listed here can be purchased from our online store (Adhesive, grout, sealers or maintenance items).
General Information for Tile & Stone:
- Substrate should be clean, dry, level and should not move. Decoupling membranes are recommended for flooring applications if shift in substrate is expected.
- Dimensions listed here are nominal as slight variations in size and thickness may occur with most stone & porcelain tiles.
- Minor edge chipping may occur in handling, installation & transport. During installation process, these can be used as cuts.
- Natural stone can vary in colour, tone, size (within tolerance). During installation, mixing the tiles naturally
(blending) are recommended rather than using similar shades together.
- Flexible adhesive is recommended, particularly substrates with movement, or when underfloor heating is at present or planned in installations.
- All tiles must be solidly bedded.
- Standard set adhesive sets slowly (24 hours) whereas fast set adhesive sets within 3 hours (depending on weather
conditions).
Grouting:
- Apply grout at least 12 hours after the tile installation.
- Select width joint accordingly to accommodate any variation in tile sizes.
- We recommend the use of flexible grouts.
- When mixing multiple sizes together (i.e. patterns) the grout joint may vary in width between the varying sizes of tiles within the pattern.
Sealing & Maintenance:
- All natural stone tiles need sealing during installation; Generally we recommend to apply one coat before grouting and one coat after grouting.
- Depending on usage of the floor, re-seal the tiles every 6-12 months.
- Use maintenance products that are manufactured for natural stone. Do not use acidic cleaners.

Good afternoon, Trying to find a match to an existing black slate floor. Its riven like your product, however I have used a a gloss sealant so they look quite polished. Are you able to do this on your product and do you send small samples please? We are in the process of having an extension and opening up from the kitchen area which has the existing slate floor, so would need to be a good match. Many thanks Emma Litchfield

Best service I experienced from an online company I asked so many questions and got so much good advice that really helped me to choose the right tiles but also how to maintain and clean them. Best service I’ve had from any tile shop I’ve dealt with over the years by far.
