Slate-ish

Why Choose Slate-ish?

Slate-ish is a unique tile with the look of real slate, but is made from recycled and reclaimed materials in the USA. Slate-ish is a paper composite that is lightweight, durable, and easy to install. This tile can be used in many applications where real stone would not make sense - either from a durability or ease of installation standpoint. There is no other product on the market quite like Slate-ish!

What is Slate-ish made of?

Slate-ish is made from paper-laminate composite materials. These solid core laminates are made from layers of paper and resin, which is heated and pressed. These materials are normally used for countertop applications in residential and commercial projects, and anything from skate board ramps to bathroom partitions.

We source scrap material from fabricators to make Slate-ish. The sink cutouts, awkward shapes, or pieces that are too small to be used in normal applications become useful as our raw material.

A note on the"back" of Slate-ish tile: Because we take in reclaimed material that comes in cut-up sheets, there is sometimes a surface to Slate-ish that is the former "face" of the reclaimed sheets! This former "face" becomes the BACK of our tile! This can be any color, patterned, or even wood grain print, and is smooth to the touch. It does not affect the look or performance of the tile, and is mean to be hidden.
