Sealing and maintenance
Due to the porosity of natural stone, they do require sealing. They need to be given a few coats before grouting and a further coat after to ensure they are well-protected. To keep the tiles their natural colour you can use the LTP Mattstone, but if you require to slightly deepen the colour, the LTP Colour Intensifier can be used as an alternative. To increase the longevity of the seal, ongoing maintenance and cleaning can be carried out using the LTP Waxwash.
Please note that these tiles can vary between 7-12mm thick due to their nature. We suggest grading your tiles prior to fitting.

Hi Ian For floor tiles, the recommended minimum ground joining width is 3mm, however, with the rustic characteristics of natural slate, it is likely you will have slightly larger grout lines due to the fact these tiles are uncalibrated. Kind Regards Walls and Floors

Hi Paul These tiles are natural stone and haven't been pre-treated so are classed a high porosity. In our experience, these tiles will require 2 coats of sealer before grouting, but we also recommend a further coat of sealer after grouting, to seal the grout an ensure the tiles are fully protected.

Hi Robert, Most slate products are naturally heat resistant and these are no exception so will be fine for a hearth or burner surround. We would recommend fixing with the Palace Heat Resist adhesive, sealing with the LTP Colour Intensifier before grouting with the Norcros 4 Into 1 Grout: https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/palace-heat-resistant-tile-adhesive-10-kg https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/ltp-cleaning-protecting-ltp-tile-colour-intensifier-11264 https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/norcros-4-into-1-grout Regards Walls And Floors
Hi Juliette, These natural slate tiles come in boxes of 3 tiles meaning each box will cover 0.72 square meters. Kind regards, Walls and Floors
Hi Grainne Yes, Natural slate can be used externally, however they need to be thoroughly sealed to prevent moisture and frost damage. Either the LTP Mattstone or the LTP Colour intensifier would both be suitable sealers and we'd recommend saturating the tile before grouting and a further coat once grouting is completed. https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/ltp-cleaning-protecting-ltp-mattstone-tile-sealer-11256 https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/ltp-cleaning-protecting-ltp-tile-colour-intensifier-11264 Regards Walls And Floors
