Ok it looks to me like a mix of Chinese lilac, black and rustic grey (the greys are normaly browns on the flip side). Treat it like any other slate the black and lilac are harder than the grey/brown which can sometimes be more of a shale and a little softer. The browns and greys will need washing and will prob be thicker than the other 2 colours.

I am going off a topps photo so hope I am correct m8

Natural Slate Sheera Modular

i fixed some before christmas i sealed after fixing, they were a modular pattern and had to fix by eye as the sizes were out for spacers also quite a few broke in my hand just off picking them up , the larger ones vary in thickness from about 5mm to 30 mm

Oh great Not really what i wanted to hear. Oh well such is life.

.Multisheera is modular, but also sold at 30 x 30, check which the customer is having Neale. If its the modular version use Bal PTB.....Gaz

One thing you will need to watch is for breakages, laid a floor end of last year and when we unpacked boxes there were lots of broken tiles when spoke to Topps they were saying to just butt them together as this was style. LOL think not got them to replace broken ones they were really soft for slate though hopefuly they have got better batch in now. But as was said they vary in thickness a lot. I laid using Dunlop Large Format.

yep I did 7 years at topps. multi sheera slate is very brittle to say the least,expect high wastage and calibration issues.and HI all I'm new to this and hope i have read into this right

Powerspec recommends with AD1 or PTB flexible ?

PTB flexible then, although on concrete and backs of tiles cleaned and dust / shale free I would be happy with PTB....Gaz
