Slatestone Pavers & Tiles

Slatestone Pavers & Tiles

Slatestone is one of the most durable natural stones in the market today and that’s why it’s one of the best building material choices for indoor and outdoor use. In Australia, Slate floor tiles and roof tiles are the most common ones to be used. This metamorphic rock contains micas and clay minerals that resist chipping, fire and moisture. Together these factors contribute to Slatestone’s dependability as a tough outdoor paving material.

Slatestone’s durable surface stands the test of time even in the harshest weather conditions. They are excellent for several outdoor applications, especially roofing. Slate tiles or pavers are used indoors in flooring or wall-cladding applications. Slate floor tiles are impervious to cracking, breaking or chipping, which speaks volumes about their toughness. Slate roof tiles are a timeless and durable roofing material known for their natural beauty, long lifespan and exceptional resistance to harsh weather conditions. Natural Slate tiles can even be used as decorative accents or backsplashes, given their availability in a variety of shapes and sizes. Not only this, but you can also find Slatestone pavers in different colours and finishes.

Outdoor Slate tiles have naturally riven texture and black & grey hues that give surfaces a modern finish while infusing life even into the most docile-looking ones. You also get to choose Slate floor tiles from black, multi-coloured gold and corroded tones that lend a unique sense of style to the flooring.

Additionally, it can survive temperature changes and is moisture resistant. Slate, however, needs routine maintenance, such as sealing, to avoid stains. On the other hand, porcelain tile is a manufactured material renowned for its toughness and longevity. It offers diversity in design because of the large range of colours, patterns and finishes available. Porcelain tiles take less upkeep, is moisture-resistant and is simple to clean. In comparison to natural stone alternatives like slate tiles, it is also less expensive. The decision between slate and porcelain tile ultimately comes down to your preferred aesthetic, maintenance preferences and financial constraints. Think about speaking with experts who can advise you further based on your unique needs.
