Black slate tile has a modern tone that traverses well by itself or with other mediums to make a statement. Its top finish has a natural cleavage that shows off its graining. The back has a gauged finish to preserve the natural top finish, but gives an even work surface for installation due to the natural color variation in slate, every project will have a unique finish. Recommended for for both residential and commercial flooring, counter tops, baths, walls and backsplashes.
