What is Slate Tile?

Slate is a fine-grained rock formed from compressed layers of sediment accumulated on the ocean floor. Its sturdy composition makes it resistant to fading, scratching, and even chemicals. It is also an attractive and popular decorative stone. It is known for its versatility and durability. Slate tiles are a popular choice for indoor and outdoor use. It is very useful in the construction industry for the production of roof panels and coverings and is suitable for both interior and exterior flooring. Due to its resistance to the elements of weather and pollution, slate tiles are often favored in landscaping, as pavers in pathways, around swimming pools, and even to cover the exterior walls of buildings. Slate tiles last virtually forever, require little maintenance, and make an excellent addition to any room, even those in cold climates.

Types And Colors Of Slate

The most typical slate color is a color reminiscent of dark gray with few light reflections. This is what we call a "slate gray" color in everyday language.

The color of slate is inherent in the stone's origin as it depends on the composition of the soil at the time of mining. However, the color of slate is inherently different and can be gray, blue, green-gray, crimson, black, tan, or even purple-gray. All slate colors easily adapt to any environment, making them special and elegant.

Most commonly, slate is characterized by a medium-dark gray color with hints of blue. But the most precious color is slate black, a color that is timeless, not limited by space, and will never go out of style.

Going forward, the slate texture represents a unique piece of craftsmanship that recalls the naturalness of slate colour.

Brazilian slate, on the other hand, is one of the most exotic and consists of a variety of colors. Coming from Brazil, as the name suggests, it is particularly resistant to atmospheric precipitation and is very exquisite in appearance. Obviously, there are different types of slate, and these often vary depending on the finish required. Slate is available in a black polished finish, a brushed finish and a natural swept finish. All different types and processing techniques can be used to build a bathroom or kitchen, perfectly suitable for both classic and more modern styles.

Flooring and Cladding

Slate tiles are used for exterior flooring, interior flooring and cladding. Slate floors are commonly installed on outdoor porches, basements, bathrooms, and kitchens. Interior slate flooring is durable, versatile and elegant. They enable homeowners and interior decorators to create unique and unique environments. Interior slate flooring is available in a variety of honed finished tiles, natural patterns (natural cracks) and colors including green, black, grey, red and purple to accentuate the unparalleled style of the space. Slate flooring is durable, non-porous, and requires little to no maintenance. Exterior slate flooring can be made from random slate or slate tiles. Random slate comes in a variety of shapes, such as trapezoids and parallelograms, and provides a more natural look. Slate tiles can make a space look more beautiful.

Pool table

The smooth playing surface of the pool table is made of quarried slate. Some tables are made from a single slate, while others are made from multiple billiard slates. According to the American Billiards Association, a three-piece slate that is one inch thick is best for championship pool play. The thickness of the slate used in the average pool table ranges from 3/4 inch to 1 inch. High-quality billiard boards are elastic, hygroscopic, and have fine particles.

 

 

 

 

 

Things To Note When Laying Slate With Yellow Wood Grain

 

Before formal laying, the stone slabs required by the drawings should be trial-installed according to pattern, color, and texture. Uncomplete slabs should be arranged on the border. After trial-assembly, they should be numbered in two directions, and then placed neatly according to the numerical code. According to the horizontal standard line and design thickness, there are walls and columns around, and the upper elevation control line of the surface layer pops up. If there are no positioning stakes, use a chisel or wire brush to remove the laitance and dust stuck to the base, and then use a broom to clean the floating soil.

Before laying the bonding layer mortar, the base layer should be moistened, and a layer of plain cement slurry or interface adhesive should be brushed on the base layer, and 1:2.5 dry hard cement mortar should be applied and mixed evenly before laying. Place the gravel slab on the dry mix and level it with a rubber hammer. Then pick up the granite slab and pour an appropriate amount of plain cement on the dry mix.

At the same time, apply plain cement slurry with a thickness of about 1mm on the back of the slate or granite slab, then place the marble or granite on the leveled dry mix and tap it with a rubber hammer. Used to sit flat or upright according to the elevation control line and square control line. When the yellow wood grain of the slate is broken and chaotic, it should be laid in the middle of the pattern according to the laying direction specified in the construction drawings, and then laid around the cross control board according to the cross control board, and the flatness should be checked at any time with a 2m ruler and level. When placed in a large area, it should be placed in sections and zones.

Consider slate, a popular building and decorative material. Slate is not just a common stone used in construction projects. In indoor environments, it has its own unique color and texture. It will be more widely used. Importantly, it plays a very important role in buildings such as villas, parks, squares, garden communities, etc. In construction, slate is not only a timeless base material but also a decorative material. Slate's color-changing properties make it a popular material for architectural decoration.

Slate Appearance Quality Inspection

 

1. Pattern tone: Place the qualified board and the inspected board on the ground, and stand 1.5m away from the board for visual inspection.

2. Artificial chiseling. Place the board flat on the ground and visually inspect it 1.5m away from the board.

3. The number of color threads measures the number of color threads.

4. Use vernier calipers to measure the length, width, and height of missing corners and edges; visually check the number of missing corners.

5. Steps Use a vernier caliper to measure the height of the steps, and measure the maximum value as the height of the steps.

6. Cracks Visible cracks are judged visually, and hidden cracks are judged by hammering (that is, hitting the plate with a metal hammer and identifying whether there are cracks through the sound, usually hoarse).

7. Stains: Use a vernier caliper to measure the size of the stain and visually check the number of stains.

Q: What is the composition of slate tiles?

A: Slate is formed from shale and mudstone and is primarily composed of clay minerals. Slate can also be composed of other minerals such as quartz, feldspar, calcite, hematite, and pyrite.

Q: Are slate tiles hard stone or soft stone?

A: The hardness of slate tiles depends on their respective composition and formation, but tends to range between 2.5-4 on the Mohs scale. This means that slate tiles range in hardness from soft to medium.
