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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our slate veneer can be installed by a capable tiler, joiner or DIY enthusiast, if you do your own tiling and wall papering you be able to work with our materials.

The top surface does require sealing just like traditional slate and stone tiles. This depends on the application and different sealers will have varied effect on the colour of the sheets, we sell a sealer that does not significantly change the appearance of the sheets and its available in our online store. We always recommend sealing our materials when they are being used in a kitchen or bathroom.

A normal tile saw or tile blade on an angle grinder or multi tool is sufficient for making cuts in the sheets for an installation.

This depends on the application of the sheets and the substrate but in most cases we offer Everbuild Stix All, which is available in our online store.

The most common method is to butt joint the sheets tight together and it is possible to grout between the sheets in dry areas also. You will find lots of project images showing joints in the sheets on this page and our project gallery.

They have the same format of backing as our slate and stone veneers however they are more consistent from batch to batch. Most of the processing and installation methods are the same as our slate and stone veneers.
