Tell me about the stone

Medium gray with a slight green undertone, Unfading Dark Green Slate is a classic style stone originating from quarries in Vermont. This tasteful tile has a consistent color, giving it a contemporary feel. It is ideal for internal and external applications because of its 'unfading' properties. This means that it will not discolor, even after years subjected to harsh weather conditions.

As one of the most durable stones on the market, slate is an excellent option for those who are looking to make a real investment in their interior design. In fact, this hardwearing stone is often used for roof tiles because of its incredible ability to resist both rain and shine. For this reason, there is no doubt that our Dark Green slate will be able to withstand whatever a busy family lifestyle throws at it.

Use Unfading Dark Green slate to create stunning flooring, bathroom and kitchen walls, backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, and more. Even in the highest traffic areas, this sturdy material is more than up to the job. Slate is fine-grained and relatively porous, therefore when used inside the home, you may wish to seal your tiles with a stone protectant, this will minimize the impact of oils and other liquids that may potentially stain.

Tell me about the tile's finish

Our Unfading Dark Green slate tiles come with a natural cleft face. This textured finish retains the stone's original bumps and grooves, creating a rustic effect both visually and to the touch. This look is achieved by cleaving the rock along its natural layers. The resulting texture is irregular and unique to that tile, giving your batch a beauty that will never be replicated. Furthermore, these tiles have a gauged back, making installation quick and straightforward to complete.

A natural cleft face is incredibly popular, not only for its distinct design advantages but also for its functionality. When used for flooring, a textured surface is much more practical than a smooth one, as it offers a superior level of slip resistance. Where a refined finish can often feel slippery underfoot, a natural cleft face gives a floor sufficient traction. This is ideal for family homes, or simply for those who are pragmatic in their design choices.

Furthermore, concerning maintenance, a natural cleft face is one of our lowest upkeep options available. The rugged surface is not impacted dramatically by wear and tear as it is intentionally uneven and irregular. There is no regular polishing involved, just a simple clean and periodic sealant top up.

What overall look will I achieve?

Our Unfading Dark Green Slate tiles are the perfect blend of nature's work and contemporary living. Use it to create a rugged kitchen floor, sealed to enhance its rich coloring. Contrast the dark stone with crisp white walls for a sleek and on-trend look. Incorporate a wooden countertop, white kitchen cupboards, and plenty of luscious foliage for a simple yet impactful design.
