Hello,

I would like to use a suitable slate for an outdoor windowsill, do you cut them to size?

Hi, we bought some Oyster split face mini tiles from you yesterday.

We were wondering do we need to put the sealant on the rear of the tile to stop the dye from the grout coming through the tile?

Cheers

Hello, 

I have a honed slate kitchen floor, purchased from you.

What product's would you recommend for sealing and giving a satin/satin-gloss finish on honed slate?

Can I order 6 small samples to show the likely colour variation between the oyster slate tiles?

Should we lay patio grey slate 20 mm slabs on dry sand/gravel or should they be set into a sand/cement wet mix?

We bought a new build house in December 2015.

The kitchen walls are tiled in what the building specification describes as "slate river 10x10". To my untutored eye they appear to be porous and so absolutely not suitable for use around the kitchen hob when fat, oil, sauces are frequently splattered.

I am using normal kitchen cleaning sprays but am afraid that the tiles will at some time become discoloured.

Opinions/views/advice gratefully received.

Thank you. 

Can these be used externally as cladding.

The oyster split slate tiles.

Are the split face tiles on a mesh or are they a solid tile?

What is the best or most popular grout colour for riven black slate floor tiles?
