Product story

Rustic Natural Slate: Spanish Black 25 x 40cm

Genuine riven slate with a chipped edge and a deep charcoal-black tone — Spanish Black from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

Quarried in Spain, Spanish Black is natural slate in its most characterful form: a cleft, riven surface and a hand-chipped edge give every tile a wonderfully rustic, aged quality, with the subtle cleft and colour movement that only real stone can offer. The overall tone stays a rich, even black that anchors both traditional and contemporary schemes.

Hard-wearing and frost-resistant, it is equally at home across interior floors, feature walls, wet rooms and fireplaces, and on sheltered exterior floors. As a natural stone it should be sealed to protect the surface and ease everyday cleaning.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Sealing (important): As a natural slate, Spanish Black must be sealed. Apply a proprietary stone sealer before grouting and again after laying, then maintain with a pH-neutral stone cleaner — avoid vinegar, bleach and acidic products.
  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a flexible stone adhesive; for riven tiles allow for the natural variation in thickness. Use a frost-resistant, exterior-grade system outdoors.
  • Layout & Cleaning: Shuffle tiles from several boxes to blend the natural tonal variation. Sweep and damp-mop; reseal periodically to keep the surface protected.
