Slate is made out of fossils, sand grains, and crystals. This unique structure prevents liquids from penetrating the surface of the stone. With the added advantage of being a virtually slip free surface, Slate floor tiles make the perfect choice for kitchens, bathrooms and wet rooms alike. Our Brazilian slate tiles are tough and easy to install.  With its stain-resistance and waterproof properties,  it makes an excellent flooring choice, be it for indoor or outdoor use, when you add to these properties, key features like high resistance to heat, moisture, stains, spills and scratches, these qualities alone should make choosing slate over other types of stone, very easy. When  you add durability and long lasting looks to the list of properties of this amazing stone, the end result is a winner choice for flooring and wall cladding.

Our Brazilian slate tiles not only withstand the passing of time, but will gain more character and beauty as the years go by.

Our advice is to always seal it. Even if it is for outside use, it is always necessary to seal specially to avoid staining the stone when grouting. However there is a proper sequence for sealing that should always be observed. After the tiles have been properly washed dried and laid, before grouting, the tiles should be sealed. It is of paramount importance to seal your floor or wall at that stage and not after grouting.  By following the correct sequence will avoid staining the tiles from the grouting.

It is worth mentioning that although possible to fix stained floors it will involve quite a bit of work, not to mention the extra cost with the appropriate products.

Obviously the professional tiller will no doubt know this. However, during this climate of credit crunch, more and more customers have a go at it themselves, so our advise is to get as much information as possible to make sure that you will have a floor or wall that will make you proud rather than bring you shame!

A pattern used will depend very much on the colour chosen, tile size and more importantly room size and shape. This is when common sense should prevail. We always advise to use large tile sizes on larger areas but the opposite is also advisable, i.e. if you have a small are to tile a large tile size will not bring out the best features of this room.

The general rule of thumb is to use sizes that complement each other even when used on a random pattern, for instance 60cm x 90 cm will go well with 60×60, 60×30 and 30×30, from the same token 60×60 can be used to great effect together with 60×40 and 40×40 tiles sizes.

We will be implementing shortly an installation guide page and a pattern suggestion page, so our customers will be able to browse though them to choose a pattern which will be most suitable to their project.
