Beautiful Green Slate Tiles

Beautiful Green Slate Tiles

Whatever your style, Honister can supply slate tiles that provide practical flooring that looks great and lasts for years.

The durability and beauty makes them ideal for higher traffic areas. Honister slate creates a naturally elegant look, doesn’t attract dust, and can increase the value of your home.

We supply our tiles with either a natural/riven or honed/polished finish.

The honed finish offers a durable and easy to clean surface while the riven finish is more of an aged, antique look and just as durable.

Our tiles are one of the best natural product to go with under floor heating. The thermal properties of our slate means it holds the heat long after the timer has gone off.

We would always recommend Inside flooring and wall tiles to be a minimum of 12mm thickness.

Outside paving we recommend at 30mm thickness and in a riven finish.

Made to Order

Like most of our products we make the flooring to order.

Honister tiles come in honed/polished finish or natural/riven. The honed finish is machine cut and smoothed to a semi-polished finish. The riven finish is chiseled and separated by simple hand tools and the surface does not get any treatment by machinery hence why it is left uneven.

Honister slate tiles can be used in many parts of your property; kitchens, bathroom, living rooms, conservatories, showers, gardens and patios.

We mine all our slate from deep inside Fleetwith Pike and only provide the one colour, the famous Westmorland green slate.

Here is some ideas of prices for the honed finish to give you an idea, but please do get in touch with your quantities and if you have a different size tile in mind.
