Why opt for slate-coloured tiles?

The black porcelain stoneware tile is renowned for its pure, timeless beauty. It is considered the undisputed colour of contemporary, sophisticated homes, thanks to its deep, intense pigmentation that attracts the eye and arouses interest. In this way, black porcelain stoneware attributes considerable presence to the floor on which it is laid. Black is obtained by mixing pigments that each absorb a wavelength, giving it a very intense depth. In other words, black tiles combine the elegance of this colour with the technical properties of porcelain stoneware for a fine, refined result in every space.

The black tile comes in a wide range of looks, making it easy to integrate into many settings. In fact, each aesthetic effect of black sandstone helps to define a unique and distinguished atmosphere and finds its inspiration from natural or rather modern materials.

Firstly, the slate-coloured tiles reproduce the effect of cement and concrete, which mainly corresponds to modern and contemporary spaces. In particular, this option gives rise to a decisive character and a stylish, relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of American lofts. The surface of the tiles even has the subtle crackling and scratching effects that characterise this urban material with its industrial accents. Black cement-effect tiles are therefore the right solution for giving your spaces an exceptional, elegant design.

Next, it’s important to point out that black porcelain stoneware tiles can also replicate the effects of natural stone. This natural material is extremely popular, not least because of its precious, charming and authentic nature. Porcelain stoneware faithfully replicates the natural texture and imperfections of stone, while offering all the qualities of porcelain stoneware. In this way, black porcelain stoneware encapsulates the elegance and beauty of this noble material and offers a sober, timeless result.

The black colour tile can also take on a designer look through the various modern effects in which it is available. Trendy and original, this aesthetic aspect blends perfectly with all types of space. Black takes modernity to the extreme, counterbalancing more traditional, classic styles and complementing modern, chic settings to perfection. The black tile design effect is therefore a wise choice that reflects decorative trends, but also proves timeless.

The black porcelain stoneware tile provides the perfect backdrop for every type of decoration and thus acts as a real decorative asset. Not only does it add cachet to spaces, it also conveys a certain form of originality and is suitable for those who want to get away from the ordinary and off the beaten track.

Often considered dark and obscure, black porcelain stoneware nevertheless creates plays of light that delicately settles on the surface of the tiles that absorb it and subsequently amplify this luminosity. What’s more, if the black coloured tiles are combined with light-coloured furniture, this effect is increased tenfold. In this way, there’s no reason to give up on black for fear of a lack of light.

Surprising and elegant, black tiles can on the one hand feature a matt finish that is establishing itself in the decorating world as a favourite. In fact, Matt Black Tiles appear as elegant as can be and embody modernity in its purest form. On the other hand, a glossy, more classic version of black sandstone is available. The Glossy Black Tiles, meanwhile, is ideal for enhancing the brightness of the room because its surface manages to reflect light and its more subtle reflections.

The identity of slate-coloured tiles is timeless and on-trend. Any floor or wall it enhances immediately gains a certain charm and character. What’s more, black tiles can also be used to create an intimate and stylish ambience in many types of spaces that they manage to personalise. In fact, the many shades of black, such as slate, graphite or even carbon, combine with an abundance of colours and materials to create a harmonious result.

For example, it goes wonderfully well with more modern, sober interiors and enhances furniture with clean lines. Combined with light-coloured furniture, it lends power and intensity to floors and walls, and makes a powerful statement against lighter shades. Another option is to combine black porcelain stoneware tiles with natural materials such as wood. This marriage combines the sophistication of black with the natural warmth of wood, resulting in a perfect balance between modernity and conviviality.

The black porcelain stoneware may be seen as an unusual choice for our indoor and outdoor living spaces. Yet it provides a unique atmosphere that makes a statement in every space, from the kitchen to the bedroom to the garden, whether it’s laid on the floor or the wall.

The black colour tile offers an undeniable advantage for many environments. Many preconceived ideas define black tiles as extremely messy, but on the contrary, they are both practical and effective. In fact, it’s often advisable to opt for a darker shade of grout to help conceal any visible dirt. This characteristic therefore becomes a strong point and means that black sandstone can be laid in any setting. It can therefore magnify the bathroom or be used as kitchen tiles thanks to its strong resistance to water and moisture, but also the living room because it resists wear.

The slate colour tile also boasts another essential quality, namely its resistance over time. The aesthetic appearance of porcelain stoneware will not change or deteriorate over time. This characteristic means that black tiles for terraces can safely adorn your outdoor spaces without the risk of its colour changing under the effect of the sun’s UV rays or due to bad weather. The intensity of the black tiles for outdoor flooring therefore remains intact over time… and decorates your terrace and garden in a contemporary way.

The slate-coloured tiles have been designed in different formats to suit any space, regardless of its size. The possibilities are endless and you can choose from the following options:

• From black porcelain stoneware tiles in a small format that includes 30x30cm. These more classic sizes can give your kitchen splashback a facelift thanks to the originality of black, but their decorative power doesn’t stop there and can help to structure spaces by inserting a decoration right on the floor, around a table, or between certain rooms. What’s more, you can also opt for black tiles in a mosaic format to add a touch of originality to your shower or bathroom walls.
• Black tiles in a rectangular shape measuring 30×60 cm. This size gives a clearly defined aesthetic style and is particularly suited to wall mounting. This format gives a feeling of space and creates refined, sophisticated decorations.
• Black tile in a medium format, including 45×45 cm or 60×60 cm. In this case, the measurements are said to be ‘standard’ and the black tiles 60×60 therefore easily enhances all spaces, from the smallest to the most spacious.
