A type of metamorphic rock, slate is known for its distinct, neutral gray tones that make it the perfect blank "slate" for interior design. It comes in various tones of dark grays and blacks, which offer a moody and sophisticated accent to interiors.
Perfect for natural interiors and modern industrial spaces, slate tiles have a versatile and timeless look. They pair well with almost any color and can suit almost any home renovations or design style changes. If you want a tile or mosaic that will look good forever, then slate is certainly the ideal choice.
Slate tiles can be installed on most interior walls and floors, including wet areas like shower walls and floors. They can also be installed in high-traffic areas, such as commercial spaces.
Slate tiles and mosaics are highly durable and will last a long time. They are unlikely to be scratched or chipped as long as they are properly maintained.
Textured slate tiles have a slightly rougher texture that works well for interior floors or an accent wall. They have an anti-slip finish and offer a natural, earthy look in homes and businesses. We do not recommend these tiles for showers or backsplash installations because their rougher texture is harder to clean.
Slate mosaic tiles have a more refined look with a honed finish. They can be installed on interior walls and floors. They are a perfect choice for shower walls and floors as well, as long as they are sealed to prevent moisture from seeping in.
Slate tiles and mosaics are a fairly low-maintenance type of natural stone. They are highly durable and long-lasting.
Slate tiles and mosaics should be sealed to increase their durability and water-resistance. If you are installing slate in wet areas, then we recommend regularly re-sealing the tiles every few years.
One of the main disadvantages of slate tiles is that they are difficult to install and replace. These tiles should be installed and replaced by professionals due to their heaviness.
