Traditional slate flooring is becoming increasingly popular as customers come back to a tried a tested type of stone. For centuries slate has been used for flooring all over the world.
Its natural hard wearing properties make it ideal for tiling in high traffic areas. With the added benefit of being asthetically unique slate is a natural product which cannot be immitated.
Our Autumn Mix slate has a riven surface which is where the quarried blocks are spliced into thinner slabs before being cut into the large format 600 x 400 mm tiles. Rather than simply packing the stone as it comes out we order our crates to be packed with an even distribution of the colours produced by the quarry. This means the finished floor will look its best with rich copper colours, and dark greys along with grey greens.
