Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Fired Earth Ardosia tiles suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes. Natural slate acts as an excellent conductor of heat. When installed correctly over a suitable uncoupling membrane and using flexible adhesives, the Ardosia collection is fully compatible with both electric and water-based underfloor heating systems, transforming the cool stone into a wonderfully warm surface.

Do these natural slate tiles require sealing?

Yes. Because Ardosia is a natural, porous stone, it must be thoroughly sealed with a high-quality impregnating stone sealer both before and after grouting. This essential process protects the slate against moisture ingress, everyday cosmetic stains, and grease.

Will the tiles have a completely uniform thickness?

No. To preserve the authentic, rustic character of the natural riven slate, the thickness of the Ardosia tiles varies deliberately between 5mm and 12mm. A skilled tiler will easily accommodate this natural variation by 'bedding up' thinner tiles in the adhesive layer to create a perfectly flush finished floor.

Can I use the Ardosia collection outdoors?

Absolutely. The incredible durability and natural weather resistance of this Brazilian slate make it an exceptional choice for exterior applications. It is perfect for creating stunning patios and garden pathways, allowing you to seamlessly continue your interior flooring out into your outdoor living spaces.

Can I use these tiles in a wet room or shower?

Yes. The naturally textured, riven surface of the Ardosia slate provides excellent slip resistance, making it a fantastic, safe choice for wet room floors and shower enclosures. Just ensure the stone is fully and properly sealed to protect it from constant water exposure and bathroom products.

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.
