Slate

Slate has been quarried from all over the world (including the UK) for many years, and is as popular now as ever. Formed from fine shale and clay deposits settling into layers under extreme pressure and temperature fluctuations, the natural cleft on slate gives a great anti-slip finish to your tiles, and is therefore ideal for floors. The market has recently been flooded by cheap slate floor and wall tiles; at Stone Tiles Direct we carefully choose our source of slate to ensure that the quality is the same high quality as the floor and wall tiles in the rest of our ranges.
