Question 1

Is the top surface of your slate and stone veneer completely natural and does the pattern repeat?

Accepted Answer

The top surface is completely natural just like traditional stone and slate tiles. All of our veneers are batched so they come from the same block of stone and the pattern and texture both repeats and evolves as we work through the block.

Question 2

What is on the back of the stone veneer to make this format possible?

Accepted Answer

On the back side is a special mix of fibre glass / cotton and polymer resins which enable our product to be strong, thin, flexible and light weight.

Question 3

Is Slate veneer ok to use as flooring and wall covering?

Accepted Answer

Our Slate veneer sheets can be used for any internal wall application. For internal flooring it has a PE2 rating which means they are suitable for bathroom floors and general low to medium usage residential and commercial areas. They are not suitable for heavy usage floor areas.

Question 4

Can Slate veneer be used in a shower enclosure or wet room?

Accepted Answer

It can be used in wet rooms and shower enclosure, but it is important to tank the room before fixing the Slate veneer sheets to ensure the area is water proofed and use the recommended epoxy resin based adhesive.

Question 5

Is the Slate veneer fire retardant and can the material be used as a fire place or cladding around an AGA?

Accepted Answer

It is heat resistant up to 120 degrees and has reached fire protection rating Cfl-s1. It is also possible to make the veneer fire retardant to European standards Cd0s3 at an additional cost. It can be used near an AGA and as part of a fire place but not directly under an open log burning stove.
