Hekla Slate Dark Grey Slate Effect Matt Porcelain 60x120cm Wall & Floor Tile

Hekla Slate Dark Grey Slate Effect Matt Porcelain 60x120cm Wall & Floor Tile

Hekla is named after the Icelandic volcano and looks the part — a weathered, cleft-face slate reproduced in matt porcelain with real surface texture you can feel under your hand. Slate is the darker of the two colours: a deep blue-grey ground mottled with brown, rust and ochre where the iron has bled through the stone, with paler silver-grey patches breaking the surface. It reads as a dark grey slate floor from across the room and as a rich, multi-tonal stone up close. At 60x120cm with rectified edges it lays up with tight joints, so you get the look of a slate flag floor without the sealing, the unevenness or the cold.

Where it works

Kitchen and utility floors, hallways, boot rooms, open-plan living floors, bathroom floors and shower walls, fireplace hearths and surrounds. Dark mottled slate is the most practical floor colour there is — it hides mud, crumbs and pet hair — and the matt texture gives real grip underfoot compared with a polished tile. Pairs with white walls and black or brass fittings for a modern look, or with timber and brick for a farmhouse kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it slippery?
No. Hekla has a pendulum test value of 36+, which the HSE classifies as low slip potential — the category recommended for bathroom, kitchen and hallway floors. The riven matt surface is what delivers that grip.

How do I clean a textured tile?
A flat microfibre mop and a pH-neutral porcelain cleaner. Avoid soap-based products, which leave a film in the texture. Unlike real slate, it never needs sealing.

What preparation does a 60x120cm tile need?
A flat, stable substrate, a large-format flexible adhesive, full back-buttering and a levelling clip system. On a textured floor tile a dark grey or charcoal grout hides joint lines and keeps the slate-floor look. Dry-lay from several boxes first to spread the shade variation evenly.

Can I use it outside?
Porcelain is frost-proof, but this is the interior-grade natural finish. For patios and exterior steps use a dedicated 20mm exterior tile.
