We are pleased to present a new slate tile concept for your consideration:  natural cleft face/gauged back tiles cut accurately enough to be butted together, with no grout joints.  Visually, the absence of grout joints produces a monolithic floor/wall of subtle, natural texture.  Of course, the tiles can be set with 3/16″ joints if preferred.

Butt joints significantly reduce the cost of installation, as grouting is a laborious process.  They also reduce the risk of setting materials discoloring the stone as grout bleed is often the cause of staining at the perimeter of the tiles.

We hope this attractive new product will serve as an economical alternative to imitation stone tile products such as porcelain tile.

We offer butt joint tile in five colors –

• Grayson Slate (photo above)
• Unfading Mottled Green & Purple Slate
• Unfading Green Slate
• Heathermoor Slate
• Purple Slate

– and in several stock sizes: 4 x 14″, 4 x 8″, and 2 x 8″.
