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.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • 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.
