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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Spain by Ecoceramic — imported directly by us\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 60x120cm large format rectangular porcelain, 10mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Matt, textured slate effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Dark blue-grey slate with brown and rust mottling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlip resistance: PTV 36+ (low slip potential) — suitable for bathroom and kitchen floors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectified edges for a tight 2mm joint and a near-seamless finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh shade variation (V3) — no two tiles are identical, exactly like the real stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 tiles per box, covering 1.44m² (approx. 28.6kg per box)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for interior walls and floors, and for use over underfloor heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold per square metre — free sample available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKitchen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it slippery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean a textured tile?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat preparation does a 60x120cm tile need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it outside?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePorcelain is frost-proof, but this is the interior-grade natural finish. For patios and exterior steps use a dedicated 20mm exterior tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompare with:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hekla-magma-slate-effect-matt-porcelain-60x120cm-wall-floor-tile\"\u003eHekla Magma Rustic Brown 60x120cm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/60x120cm-rectangular-large-tiles\"\u003e60x120cm large format tiles\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/slate-effect-tiles\"\u003eslate effect tiles\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grey-floor-tiles\"\u003egrey floor tiles\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tiles Paradise","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57568703512949,"sku":"TP-HEKLA-SLT-60120","price":32.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/1216\/9506\/files\/sr3061bla_d2.webp?v=1789254796","url":"https:\/\/tilesparadiseuk.com\/products\/hekla-slate-slate-effect-matt-porcelain-60x120cm-wall-floor-tile","provider":"TILES Paradise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
