Slate tiles can be used for improving the visual appeal of a home, as well as increasing its market value.
As an exceptionally beautiful and durable natural stone solution, there’s no denying the allure that comes hand-in-hand with slate tiles.
What are Slate Tiles?
Slate is a natural material that is often used for flooring, which is quarried from the earth. Usually found in mountains, slate is a metamorphic rock, which means it’s formed from the compression of multiple rocks and minerals over a long period of time.
The colour of slate will vary depending on its type and where it’s found, and once the slate is formed it will become a durable, finely foliated material that oozes style.
Slate is a popular material for flooring, although it also wields exceptional results when used as wall tiles, splashbacks, stepping stones, and even for roofs, as well as a host of other purposes.
