Slate

The kitchen and bathroom are one of the best places to use slate tile for its high endurance as well as its earthy and natural look. The hot trends in designer living space today really incorporate the outside inside the home. Slate tiles are also commonly used for interior and exterior flooring, stairs, walkways, tub surrounds, and wall cladding.

Did you know?

Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock derived from an original shale-type sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash.

When expertly "cut" by striking with a specialized tool in the

quarry, many slates will form smooth flat sheets of stone which have long been used for roofing and floor tiles and other purposes. The natural formation of slate over periods of time from the quartz, muscovite and calcite creates completely unique pieces of slate that vary slightly in color. The combination of different elements lead to the variations in color you find in slate tile. This makes slate tile the perfect tile to add visual interest and rich earth tones to a room.
