Slate is available in many colors including black, Gray, Blue gray, Green, Purple and Red.
Slate is a good choice for Kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, walkways and patios. Slate is naturally stain resistant, water resistant and is has a non-slip surface.

Grout joints should be 3/8" for the 12"x12" and 1/2" for the 16"x16". A sanded grout is recommended for 1/8" to 1/2" joints and a Saltillo Grout for joints widths of 1/2" to 1 1/4".
