I'm tiling a slate floor for the first time and after looking at the tiles (ungraded, 'multi' slate) I am wondering - what do you do with the 'flaky' bits? Do you knock off the larger bits or will the sealer take care of it? Also, my 'multi' slate does noy appear to be as, urm... 'multi' (ie lots of different burnt colours) as the shop demo board. Will the colours be highlighted after sealing or have I just got a duff batch? (the shop basically said 'natural product' when I asked them about it) Steve. | ||

Knock off the rough bits that are delaminating. Multicolour is generally only multicolour on one side the other is grey. You will need to lay your tiles best side up in your opinion. Not a duff batch its how it is (the retailer is covered by the word natural) Happens more often when bought in boxes. tiler ,, | ||||||||||

Seal with something like lithofin slate seal...this will enhance the colours in the slate.. | ||
