Tell me about the stone Silver Blue slate is a delicate pale gray color. Rustic with a classic design, this beautifully natural-looking stone will ensure your home incorporates earthy and organic textures, creating a relaxed and homely environment. As with any natural stone, there is some variation in its shading, however, it has a fairly consistent color.
Slate is formed by the alteration of soft shale and mudstone. Changing pressure and temperature conditions cause the stone to solidify and harden, creating a dense and sturdy material. This formation process means that slate is created in layers which are easily cleaved into slabs, ready to be shaped into tiles. It is a hardwearing stone, capable of resisting heavy wear and tear. Silver slate is suitable for flooring throughout the house, including hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms. But its uses don't stop there, slate makes a beautiful backsplash or bathroom wall tile, creating a rugged and earthy look.
Tell me about the tile's finish These tiles have a natural cleft face, a rugged finish achieved by simply carving the stone into tiles and leaving its texture intact. The stone's grooves, ridges, and bumps are retained leaving an earthy design that looks great contrasted against sleek bathroom suites and white walls.
These tiles also have a gauged back. This is a leveling of the stone's back in order to aid with application. They are ideal for internal flooring applications which require a completely flat walking surface.
A natural cleft face is one of our most functional finishes. It's perfect for flooring in bathrooms and hallways because it offers a superior level of traction. Refined finishes are often slippery underfoot, especially when wet. But a natural cleft face offers sufficient slip resistance, making it ideal for a busy family home.
What overall look will I achieve? Silver Blue slate is a rustic, natural stone that looks beautiful when paired with clean-lined, sleek white furniture and walls. Add wooden accessories for textural elements and green foliage to continue the natural design.
Alternatively, create a classic country-style kitchen by using it to create your kitchen flooring. Add sage green or duck egg blue kitchen cupboards and a wooden countertop.
