“By their very nature these slate tiles are delicate and prone to break or splinter along natural flaws so expect this, I also suffered a couple of tiles separating where the glue had not fully adhered. This being said I purchased six square metres of slate tiles to enclose a chimney breast in our living room and in total I would estimate that only six tiles failed due to flaws and three as a result of glue failing, I cut these tiles to produce the staggered effect on the wall to avoid horizontal lines forming as the rows of tiles are laid so wastage was kept to a minimum. The tiles are easy if very messy to cut, note they can be trimmed with a hacksaw if required! Because of the rustic effect being achieved laying them is simply avoiding the normal tile laying precision. Finished with a tile sealer for a satin/gloss sheen depending on the amount of coats the end result is fantastic if I say so myself..... I would happy attached photo but laptop refusing to download, would say it's as good as pictures on Walls & Floors Website. I would happily recommend these tiles.”
