Product Info

Tell me about the stone

Jak Slate tiles immediately grab you with their stunning blend of colors. On a bedrock of cool grays, toasty reds are intertwined with sandy browns and rustic golds. The impressive selection of natural colors flows freely across the tile. In fact, the non-uniform makeup is what pulls you in as you follow each etching. This unique style is truly guaranteed to get you wanting more. So, if you're looking for entrancing patterns and an inviting combination of temporal colors, these tiles are sure to tick your box.

The tiles themselves are made from slate, created by the layering of volcanic ash or clay. These minerals are then subject to changing pressure and temperatures which alters the stone's original makeup. The result is the formation of a hard and durable rock. This ensures slate is more than up to the task of tackling the elements in outdoor spaces. But slate is also built to be fairly scratch and heat resistant, so it can handle busy family life.

Tell me about the tile's finish

Jak Slate tiles have a cleft face and back. So while the tiles have been carved to shape, all the natural grooves, ridges, and markings have been left. This approach only adds to the rural style. It does, however, mean that not all the tiles will be of the same thickness, so you may require a professional to help with inside installation.

The cleft face and back also serves a more practical purpose too - by offering traction. This is because the natural grooves and ridges help to make the tile less slippery than other finishes, making it a sensible choice for heavy traffic areas or parts of the home that are likely to become wet. This natural finish also means maintenance requirements are low. You won't need to frequently buff and polish your tile for it to retain its look. In fact, age will simply add to its rustic charm.

What overall look will I achieve?

Jak Slate tiles can be used to craft stunning visuals. For example, they will look fantastic as patios in your yard, surrounded by gravel and flower beds. Their hard-wearing nature also means you can create some eye-catching pieces, such as fireplaces or clad walls.

Alternatively, in modern bright homes, it can look stunning when a corner or column of a wall is formed of these Jak Slate tiles. The straightforward but effective combination of modern architecture with rugged interludes is sure to draw compliments.

These tiles can also look brilliant when used as low walls to separate areas of a yard or to border a barbecue. So, if you want to add charm and character, Jak slate is the perfect choice for you.
