Where slate tiles work best
- Kitchens & diners: hard-wearing, easy to maintain with correct sealers.
- Bathrooms & wet areas: choose riven or brushed textures; confirm slip guidance.
- Hallways & utilities: riven grip handles footfall and grit.
- Patios & thresholds: use 20 mm calibrated outdoor slate for level transitions.
Installation, sealing & safety
- Sealing: seal before grouting and again after; maintain with pH-neutral cleaners.
- Slip guidance: for shod areas aim for PTV 36+ (pendulum test value) where assessed.
- Calibrated slate: reduces lippage and speeds fixing on level substrates.
- UFH: suitable with flexible adhesives/grouts; follow movement joint best practice.
Samples, delivery & friendly support
- Full or Cut samples: check colour, texture & calibration before you buy.

Natural slate tiles — FAQs
Do slate tiles need sealing?
Yes. Seal before grouting and again after, then maintain periodically with pH-neutral cleaners. This protects against stains and makes cleaning easier.
Are riven slate tiles slippery in bathrooms?
Riven surfaces provide additional texture for grip. For shod areas, look for guidance around PTV 36+ where assessed, and use suitable mats in wet zones.
Can I use natural slate with underfloor heating?
Yes — slate’s thermal mass works well. Use flexible adhesives/grouts and follow movement joint best practice for stone.
What’s the difference between calibrated and non-calibrated slate?
Calibrated tiles have a machined, more consistent thickness that speeds installation and helps reduce lippage compared with hand-split thicknesses.
Natural slate vs slate-effect porcelain — which should I choose?
Natural slate offers authentic texture and unique variation; porcelain mimics the look with lower maintenance. Choose based on desired authenticity and upkeep.
