Due to the porosity of natural stone, they do require sealing. They need to be given a few coats before grouting and a further coat after to ensure they are well-protected. To keep the tiles their natural colour you can use the LTP Mattstone, but if you require to slightly deepen the colour, the LTP Colour Intensifier can be used as an alternative.

Hi Naj, We recommend using the LTP Mattstone Tile Sealer for these tiles. One bottle covers approximately 10 sqm. Kind regards, Walls and Floors.
Hi Stuart, These tiles only come in a 30x30 or a 40x60 size. https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/country-farmhouse-black-slate-tiles-black-slate-60x40-tiles Kind Regards, Walls and floors.
Good Morning Lindsay, For tile cutting, we would advise using a wet wheel cuter, hand cuter or angle grinder. Kind Regards, Walls and Floors.
Hi Lindsay Thanks for your query. If fitted correctly with a full bed of adhesive these tiles are fine for use under a log buner. Kind regards Walls and Floors
Hi Dawn When correctly maintained, the slate would only need to be resealed every 4-5 years. Sometimes longer. Normal bathroom cleaners are usually too acidic or alkaline, which can break the sealer down, leaving them prone to staining. We would recommend using a pH-neutral cleaner, such as the LTP Waxwash which will also fill gaps in any damaged sealer, further extending the time between resealing: https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/ltp-cleaning-protecting-ltp-waxwash-tile-maintenance Regards Walls And Floors

Hi Kamala, Yes, they can. However, due to the combined weight of the tiles and fixing materials, they cannot be installed onto conventional plaster or plasterboard backgrounds. We would recommend boarding the walls with the Hardie Backer boards which are capable of supporting excessive weights. The walls in the direct wet areas will require a coating of the Ardex WPC tanking kit which will make the walls sufficiently waterproof. https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/hardiebacker-board-james-hardie Once the tiles are installed, but before grouting, they will also need sealing, either with the LTP Mattstone or the LTP Colour Intensifier depending on your preferred finish. A further application of the sealer can be applied after grouting to ensure the tiles are sufficiently protected and this will also seal the grout to prevent discolouration: https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/ltp-cleaning-protecting-ltp-mattstone-tile-sealer-11256 https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/ltp-cleaning-protecting-ltp-tile-colour-intensifier-11264 If you would like to discuss your project in more detail, please call our sales team on 01536 314730, and they will be more than happy to help you.
