Modern Herringbone Slate Tiles – Brazilian Black Slate.
The Modern Herringbone Slate Tile is cut from Brazilian black slate, chosen for its precise grain, stable composition, and consistent tone. Each piece carries a rectified back for a secure, accurate fit, and a riven surface that expresses the stone’s natural texture without compromising balance or refinement.
Its charcoal-black palette establishes a strong architectural base that works across modern and transitional interiors. The narrow format suits herringbone installations, introducing rhythm and structure to open-plan floors or feature walls.
This format performs equally well in bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces, maintaining visual continuity through underfloor-heated zones and high-traffic areas.
Installation Notes
-
Confirm the substrate is level, clean, and stable before installation.
-
Blend pieces prior to fixing; shade variation is inherent to natural stone.
-
A decoupling membrane is recommended, especially where underfloor heating is present.
-
Expect slight edge variations; use minor imperfections for cuts or perimeter pieces.
Adhesive
-
Use a flexible, white powdered adhesive to maintain colour integrity.
-
Apply a full bed for uniform contact and load distribution.
-
Allow 24 hours for standard set or 6 hours for fast set adhesives before grouting.
Grout
-
Use flexible grout to accommodate movement and temperature change.
-
Select a joint width that aligns with tile tolerances.
-
Grout only after sealant has cured and the installation is stable.
Sealing & Maintenance
-
Apply a penetrating sealant before grouting and after completion.
-
Reseal every 6–12 months, depending on usage.
-
Use pH-neutral cleaners formulated for stone; avoid acidic products.
