Preguntas frecuentes
What is slate and what makes it suitable for tiling?
Slate is a natural metamorphic stone known for its density, durability, and distinctive layered texture. Because it's hard-wearing and naturally slip-resistant, it works well for both floors and walls.
What are the mosaic sheets backed with?
Most mosaics are supplied on a mesh or paper backing that holds the individual pieces in position for easy installation. Sheets are designed to butt together so the joints stay consistent.
Where can mosaics be used?
On walls and floors, including splashbacks, feature walls, shower areas, and borders. For floors, check that the specific mosaic is rated for floor use.
How are mosaics installed?
The sheets are bedded into adhesive like standard tiles, then grouted once set. Because of the many small joints, a slightly more flexible adhesive and careful grouting give the best finish.
Can mosaic sheets be cut to fit?
Yes. Individual pieces can be removed from the backing, and sheets can be trimmed with tile nippers or a wet saw to fit edges and corners.
Do slate tiles need to be sealed?
Yes. Slate is porous, so we recommend sealing before grouting and periodically afterward to protect against staining and moisture. A penetrating (impregnating) sealer is typical.
Why do the tiles vary in color and texture?
Slate is a natural product, so shade, veining, and surface texture vary from tile to tile and batch to batch. We recommend ordering all tiles for a project at once and dry-laying from several boxes to blend the variation.
How do I clean and maintain slate?
Sweep or vacuum regularly and clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid acidic or abrasive products, which can damage the surface and break down the sealer.
Are slate tiles suitable for wet areas like bathrooms and showers?
Yes, when properly sealed. The natural texture also adds slip resistance, making it a popular choice for wet rooms.
Can slate tiles be used outdoors?
Yes, most slate is frost-resistant and suitable for patios, pathways, and exterior walls. We recommend confirming the specific tile's frost rating and using a suitable exterior-grade adhesive and grout.
¿Cuánta superficie cubre cada box?
Cada box cubre aproximadamente 8.0 pies cuadrados. Calcule el área a cubrir y añada un 10% extra para cortes y desperdicio.
¿Puedo pedir una muestra antes de comprar?
