Brazilian Grandeur: Ardosia Diamond Sawn Edge (60x60)

Create a floor of unparalleled drama with Ardosia Diamond Sawn Edge 60x60cm—a large-format Brazilian slate that combines rugged natural beauty with a clean, contemporary outline.

Sourced from mineral-rich quarries in Brazil, Ardosia is renowned for its **extreme colour variation**. The surface is a canvas of deep charcoal and graphite, interrupted by striking flashes of gold, rust, and metallic copper veins. In this **large 60x60cm square format**, these geological features are given space to shine, creating a sense of scale and luxury in open-plan rooms. While the surface retains the authentic riven texture of split stone, the edges are **diamond-sawn** to create crisp, straight lines, allowing for tighter grout joints and a sharper, more modern finish than traditional rustic slate.

⚠️ Important Installation Advice

  • Variable Thickness: To maintain the rustic charm, these tiles vary in thickness (0.5cm - 1.2cm). Your tiler must "back butter" the tiles or adjust the adhesive bed depth to ensure a smooth, trip-free surface.
  • Sealing is Essential: As natural slate, this product is porous. It must be sealed during installation (before grouting) and maintained with a high-quality slate sealer to prevent staining and water damage.
  • Mix Your Boxes: The variation is "Extreme." Do not install tile-by-tile from a single box. Open multiple boxes and mix them to ensure the gold and black tones are evenly distributed across your large floor area.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the 60x60cm format?

Large format tiles like this 60x60cm square are perfect for creating a sense of space. They have fewer grout lines than smaller tiles, which makes the floor look less "busy" and allows the natural beauty and variation of the slate to be the main feature.

Does this tile need sealing?

Yes. Ardosia is real natural slate. Like all natural stone, it requires sealing to make it water and stain-resistant. We recommend applying a high-quality impregnating sealer during installation and topping it up every few years depending on foot traffic.

Why is the thickness variable?

The slate is split naturally along its geological layers (riven), which results in slightly different thicknesses (0.5cm to 1.2cm). This is a deliberate feature to give the floor a genuine, rustic character. It is not a manufacturing defect. A professional tiler will adjust the adhesive depth to ensure the top surface is level.

Is it suitable for outdoors?

Yes! Ardosia is frost-resistant and durable, making it an excellent choice for patios and pathways. Using the same 60x60cm tile inside (kitchen) and outside (patio) is a popular way to create a seamless "infinity" living space.

What does "Diamond Sawn Edge" mean?

While the surface of the tile is textured and uneven (riven), the four edges have been cut straight with a diamond saw. This creates a clean, square shape that allows for neater, tighter grout joints (recommended 3mm) than a "chipped" edge, bridging the gap between rustic charm and modern precision.
