Product story

Natural Character Underfoot: Urban Slate 40 x 40 Black/Grey

Bring the raw beauty of genuine riven slate into your home with Urban Slate 40 x 40cm Black/Grey, from Hyperion Tiles — your official Fired Earth stockist.

Quarried in South America, Urban Slate is a natural stone with a riven, lightly textured surface and dramatic tonal movement. Each 40 x 40cm tile carries its own flashes of colour and unique veining, so no two are ever quite alike — giving floors and walls an authentic, hand-hewn quality that manufactured tiles simply cannot replicate.

Hard-wearing and frost-resistant, this black and grey slate is equally at home in a characterful hallway, a wet room, a fireplace surround or an outdoor terrace, bringing a seamless flow between inside and out.

Delivery

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

Returns

To request a return, contact Hyperion within 14 days of delivery. For eligible online consumer cancellations, you have a further 14 days after telling us to send the goods back. Contact us for the correct return address; your statutory cancellation does not depend on our authorisation.

Additional supplier returns have their own eligibility rules, charges and exclusions. These do not override statutory cancellation rights or rights for faulty goods. See our refund policy and supplier return guidance before arranging a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is Urban Slate natural slate?

Yes. Urban Slate is genuine riven natural slate quarried in South America, so every tile carries unique flashing, tonal variation and a naturally textured surface.

Does Urban Slate need sealing?

Yes. As a natural stone it should be sealed before grouting and again after installation with a suitable stone sealer, then maintained with pH-neutral cleaners.

Can Urban Slate be used outdoors?

Yes. It is frost-resistant and suits interior and exterior walls and floors, including patios, hallways, wet rooms and around fireplaces.

Do you offer Urban Slate samples?

Cut samples are free to collect from our Ascot showroom, or can be posted for a small postage charge so you can see the natural colour and texture in your own light.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: fix with a white flexible stone adhesive and allow a 3mm joint to suit the natural, slightly uneven riven surface.
  • Sealing (required): as a natural stone, Urban Slate must be sealed before grouting and again after laying to protect against staining; refresh the sealer periodically.
  • Cleaning: clean with warm water and a pH-neutral stone cleaner — never use acidic or abrasive products.
