Slate tiles are natural stone tiles which can be used almost anywhere in the house including kitchens and bathrooms and even outdoors on patios and pool decks. Slate tiles are naturally rough and uneven in texture making them a slip resistant surface. Slate is durable and with its recurring varying patterns and colors, it also offers a decorative flair. Slate tile is often used in both residential and commercial flooring applications.

Slate tiles are available in a variety of colors like gray, green, orange, red and black but the most popular choice is gray. Gray is a neutral color which tends to suppress dirt and stains and usually requires less cleaning. Scuffs and scratches do not show up as easily as they would with some other stone floors making slate an ideal choice for homes with heavy traffic or large pets.

Slate is quarried from large deposits, especially old water bodies, where silt and other mineral deposits have collected and have been compacted for several thousand years under great pressure. Traces of quartz, mica, chlorate and other minerals are found in slate which makes this stone so durable and colorful.
