Sealing and maintenance

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

Each tile is unique

Due to the natural properties of the natural slate, each tile is unique. They will vary slightly in colour and thickness from tile to tile, to give an authentic overall blend when fitted.

Hi How easy is it to cut these tiles please? (Do you need a saw) Thanks LindyOur Advice

Good Morning Lindsay, For tile cutting, we would advise using a wet wheel cuter, hand cuter or angle grinder. Kind Regards, Walls and Floors.

Lindsay Muir29/11/20

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

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

Dawn13/09/19

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, DawnOur Advice

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

Are these tiles ok for outdoors?Our Advice

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

Kamala Persaud05/02/19

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

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.
