Sealing and maintenance

Due to the porosity of natural stone the do require sealing. The 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.

To increase the longevity of the seal, ongoing maintenance and cleaning can be carried out using the LTP Waxwash

PRODUCT REVIEWS

They are uncalibrated tiles, but even so six out of 14 tiles were impossible to use. There was almost 10mm “warp” on a couple of tiles. Annoyingly so.

Would these tiles be suitable for laying under a wood burning stove?

Lindsay Muir | 29 Nov 2020

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

Hi,
How often would the slate need resealing, if it was used in the bathroom? Would it be quite high maintenence? I have seen slate in quarries near the sea, so I assume it would be low maintenance?
Regards,
Dawn

Dawn | 14 Sep 2019

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:

Are these tiles ok for outdoors?

Natasha Betteridge | 18 Jun 2019

Hi Natasha,

These tiles are made from natural slate and as such are fine for outdoor use due to their frost resistant qualities. If you are looking for a floor tile for an outside project it is worth considering one with an anti-slip surface as well https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/anti-slip-tiles

Kind regards,
Walls and Floors

Callum Chester Reply | 18 Jun 2019

are these tiles suitable for a shower wall/floor and bathroom wall and floor thanks

Kamala Persaud | 5 Feb 2019

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:

Hi, What colour grout would you recommend with these tiles? And does the colour protector (to make them a bit darker) also do the job of sealing the tiles? Thanks Anna

Anna Smith | 2 Sep 2018

Hi Anna,

Although grout colour is down to personal preference, grey grout has always been the most popular colour to complement Black Slate.

With regards to sealing, the LTP Mattstone will leave the tiles their natural shade, however the LTP Colour Intensifier, will slightly deepen the colour. Both of these sealers do not require any pre-treatment before use and can be applied directly to the slate. We would recommend applying the sealer both before and after grouting:

Are these suitable for a hearth under a log burner?

Georgina | 6 Aug 2018

Hi Georgina,

These real slate tiles are fine to bus used in and around a hearth. It would be advisable to use a sealer like https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/ltp-cleaning-protecting-ltp-mattstone-tile-sealer-11256 once they are fitted.

Callum Chester Reply | 6 Aug 2018

Hi do the farmhouse slate tiles cut the same with a tile disc ?
cutter

Paul | 16 May 2018

Hi Paul

That is correct. A wet cutter is the best option, but you can also use and angle grinder with a blade suitable for slate as a more cost effective method.

Hi, thinking of using this for a patio... Can you tell me the slip rating please?

Ms Sarah Barrett | 1 Mar 2018

Hi Sarah,

These tiles do not have a slip rating as with natural slate tiles, each tile will vary in finish. However they are deemed suitable for external use and the riven will aid the slip resistance in wet condition. We would advise obtaining a sample to ensure you are happy with the finish for your personal requirements.

Walls and Floors

If sealed appropriately, could these be used directly around a bath and shower?

Melissa | 25 Jan 2018

Hi Melissa,

Natural Slate can be used on both floors and walls, providing the walls are correctly prepared. They will need sealing both before and after grouting with the LTP Colour Intensifier and future cleaning should be done with the LTP Stonewash to keep them well protected:

Dear Sir / Madam, I would like to know if you have the 30 x 30 slate tiles, calibrated as in not to rough ones. I have seen the very nice calibrated slate tiles and prefer them to the rougher type. I need 23 sqm.

Hussein | 30 Dec 2017

Hi Hussein,

As an alternative we have the calibrated slate in two finishes, brushed and honed. The brushed has had most of the natural riven removed leaving a more antiqued finished whereas the honed is extremely smooth. Both tiles are gauged to 10mm thick:

Are these tiles suitable for outdoors ?

William Armstrong | 28 Nov 2017

Hi William,

These are natural slate tiles so can be used in both internal and external situations. To ensure they are completely weather proof, they require sealing with the LTP Mattstone sealer.
