Authentic Brazilian Inspiration
The Fired Earth Ardosia collection is specifically designed for those who wish to move away from uniform, manufactured surfaces and embrace the raw, unpredictable beauty of natural stone. Sourced directly from the rich quarries of Brazil, these slate tiles feature a beautifully textured, riven surface that feels completely authentic underfoot. They provide a grounding, earthy aesthetic that anchors large, open-plan spaces and adds immediate architectural depth to both traditional country homes and stark, modern interiors.
Dramatic Extreme Variation
Because the Ardosia collection is a genuine product of the earth, no two tiles will ever be the same. This collection is categorised as having 'Extreme Variation' (V5). Across your installation, you will experience a dramatic, shifting spectrum of colour, ranging from warm, inviting golds and browns through to deep, inky blacks and greys. Veins of natural mineral run sporadically through the slate, ensuring your finished floor or feature wall is a completely unique, highly expressive work of art.
Highly Versatile & Practical
While it possesses a striking, rugged appearance, natural slate is phenomenally hardwearing. When properly sealed, the Ardosia collection acts as a highly resilient, water-resistant foundation for the most demanding areas of your home. It provides excellent natural slip resistance, making it perfect for wet room floors and busy family kitchens. Furthermore, its impressive heat tolerance allows it to be used as a stunning hearth surround for log burners, or even carried outside to create a seamless transition to your patio or garden pathway.

Installation & Care Tips
To achieve the best possible finish with your natural slate, we strongly recommend unpacking and blending tiles from multiple boxes prior to fixing to ensure the extreme colour variations are beautifully distributed. Because the thickness varies naturally between 5mm and 12mm, your installer will need to bed the tiles carefully into a high-quality, flexible adhesive to ensure a perfectly level finished surface. You must thoroughly seal the slate both before and after grouting. For ongoing maintenance, sweep regularly and clean exclusively with a pH-neutral stone cleaner to preserve the integrity of the sealant and the stone.
