What Should One Look for When Buying Slate Tiles?
When buying slate tiles, one should look for an even surface without too many loose pieces that might flake off. One should also look for a uniform and even surface as a result of clefting. Most slate tiles are produced by clefting natural river beds, and our slate tiles are then calibrated on the reverse side to provide a reasonably uniform and even surface. All slate tiles carried by stonetiledepot.com meet these quality standards, and all of our slate tiles are properly graded and quality controlled. One should also look for uniformity in color and background color. Some importers box different qualities of slate into one export shipment, and this causes tiles to break in transit making them unfit for installation. Slate tiles are manufactured primarily in the U.S., Canada, India, China, and South Africa. We ship our slate tiles to all major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Orlando, San Francisco, and Chicago. Where Can One Use Slate Tiles? Slate tiles
