Tell me about the stone

Ocean Green slate is a myriad of subtle greens and blues shimmering amongst a metallic gray. It's easy to see why this beautiful stone is likened to the ocean, its surface glistens just like the reflection of sunlight on water. It has an irregular shading, with some stones showing more evidence of those cool ocean color tones than others. Some even show undertones of a soft pink. This non-uniformity is what makes it so special, just like the ocean, in nature nothing is predictable. This is a bright and stunning material that will breathe life into your new design.

Slate is a stone highly prized for its balance of durability and quality. It offers the longevity of a natural stone for an incredible price point. Evidence for its hardwearing nature comes from its use as a traditional roofing tile. The stone is often used to protect homes and buildings from the elements all around the world. This is an indication that your bathroom floor, kitchen backsplash, or garden wall are no match for this hardy stone.

Slate can be used in high-traffic locations throughout the home, including hallways and kitchens. But it also works great as a decorative feature for your walls, fireplace, and many other locations.

Tell me about the tile's finish

Slate lends itself well to a rugged and earthy look and this is just what a natural cleft face achieves. Rather than being refined during the production process, a natural cleft face has been left with the stone's organic texture. All the ridges, grooves, and pits that it was formed with are left intact, giving the tile a rustic vibe.

A natural cleft face is incredibly versatile and suitable for most tiling locations. It works great for flooring throughout the home because of the level of traction it affords. The texture provides the tile with sufficient grip so those little feet running around in socks are less likely to slip. This makes it ideal for use in a family environment where practicality is key, but it also works well in bathrooms or outside areas such as porches that are prone to dampness and therefore require a high grade of slip resistance.

This stone also has a natural back. This allows for a very reasonable price point, so is great for those with a strict budget. It can be used for both internal and external flooring, but the slight difference in thickness between the tiles means careful installation is required.

What overall look will I achieve?

Ocean Green slate is ideal for adding a subtle rustic design feature to your home. Use it as a bathroom or kitchen backsplash to give your home a design edge that incorporates nature's unpredictability. Alternatively, use it as a porch entrance for a practical solution that will look at home in its surroundings. But don't let our suggestions restrict you. There are a huge number of designs and applications this stunning stone can be used for.
