Slate-coloured tiles: what aesthetic effects are available?

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.
