These versatile tiles are perfect for both indoor and outdoor use in residential and commercial settings and can be installed as a classic subway tile or in a stylish herringbone pattern. Heat and slip-resistant, they are ideal for shower walls, backsplashes, accent walls, and fireplace facades. Their elongated rectangular shape allows for creative design possibilities while enhancing the timeless elegance of natural slate. Note: Each slate tile varies in color, shade, and finish. Blending tiles from different boxes during installation is recommended. Natural stone may have dry seams or pits that require filling over time. Sealing with a penetrating sealer is essential to preserve the tile's beauty and durability.
