SLATE
These are Chinese and European slate.
They are very hard-wearing tiles suitable for pubs, restaurants, hotels,
shops, conservatories, kitchens and patios.

it’s colouring is charcoal/basalt grey/black, sometimes with gold/rusts
through it.
-
Black Flagstone. It comes in 60 x 40,

No two tiles look the same. Some
are bevelled, some are chipped and some have chisel markings on the surface.
The tiles should be sorted out before laying, putting the roughest ones
to the skirting edge of the room and the best ones in the centre.
Use a thick bed adhesive, minimum 10 mm and tap the tiles into it so that
the unevenness is tapped into the adhesive and the surface level is flat.
Use a grout space of 10 mm. Sandstone grout looks best. Any
lipping should be levelled off with a cold chisel so that people don't
trip up. Full laying instructions can be faxed through to you.
