Tell me about the stone

With Golden slate, you're instantly drawn to the array of rich golden colors. From rustic browns and glimmering golds to rippling of reds and subtle grays, these tiles promise a blend of appealing hues. That diversity stems from the non-uniform character of these tiles. Instead of the same old colors and style, each tile offers a unique blend of patterns and textures weaving across the slate.

Slate is a fine-grained rock originally formed from clay or volcanic ash. The result is a hard and durable stone that's ideal for use both inside and out. That tough nature means it will be at home in heavy traffic areas, such as kitchens and hallways. Golden slate tiles are also fairly heat and scratch resistant, so leaving hot mugs of coffee or letting kids charge across them shouldn't be a problem.

Tell me about the tile's finish

These golden slate tiles come with a natural cleft face and a gauged back. The refined back means the slate has been carefully leveled and cut to achieve a similar thickness. This means fitting these tiles inside is relatively straightforward. At the same time, the natural finish on the front ensures the tile retains its rugged personality. So although carved to shape, grooves, etchings, and textures are left undisturbed.

This finish makes the tile versatile, so it's practical when it comes to installation yet still visually appealing and rustic. This finish also promises other advantages. For example, this natural finish will retain its charm for years after you've fitted it. In addition, the natural textured finish means marks will be less noticeable, making it perfect for bustling family homes.

What overall look will I achieve?

Golden slate tiles with a natural cleft face and gauged back are popular because of their versatility. They will look the part on the floor of a rustic kitchen with traditional appliances and wooden cabinets. However, they can also be used to create eye-catching coffee tables or backsplashes.

Alternatively, you may want to take these tiles outside. The golden colors with cream undertones make it ideal for adding light to an outdoor space that's somewhat sheltered from the sun. Pave a patio with these golden tiles or build a low wall around your flower beds and barbecue area for a characterful place you'll be happy to while away the hours in.

Some also use these golden tiles to create a stunning wall piece. For example, in-between two sections of plain wall, fit a column of these colorful golden tiles along your chimney breast. It's guaranteed to draw eyes, adding character.
