Black Slate 30x30 Tiles
Published 12 Nov 2018
These really are natural look and would probably be best described as giving a rustic finish. The tiles vary in size (by 2-3mm) and thickness (quite substantially) and finish. They also flake quite a lot and can be tricky to cut cleanly. The tiler ended up laying them with a wide grout gap (3-5mm to compensate for the size variation) and making the best job of the differing thicknesses by varying the amount of adhesive and selecting similar tiles. We're pretty happy with the finished look, although I can't help feeling that the pictures on the website are slightly misleading.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (9)
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.

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:

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:

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.

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.

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:

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:

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.

Hi Rich and thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback.
We are sorry to hear that your tile had difficulty cutting and laying the tiles. Everything you have described are characteristics of any natural non-calibrated slate. As slate is a layered stone, loose flakes can peel off when cutting, however as it is the same material underneath it will not detract from the overall appearance. Also if the tiles are loose laid before fixing, the thickness can be gauged so that height variations can be minimised.
As for the image used, this is the same slate but in the random size variation. No tiles will be exactly the same which is a further characteristic of any form of natural stone, but hopefully it gives a good indication of the shading that can be expected.
However we are extremely glad that your installation is now complete and you are happy with the look. We would love to see the finished project and if you wish, images of the floor can be posted in our customer projects section here:
