FAQs
Can this be used on a shower floor?
Yes, it is suitable for flooring, but ensure you use a waterproof adhesive and apply an appropriate stone sealer.
What tools do I need to cut the sheets?
Basic tools such as a jigsaw with a fine-tooth blade, or high-quality metal shears for thinner sections.
Is the color consistent across sheets?
No, because the product uses 100% natural stone, each sheet will have unique swirls, tones, and patterns.
How do I clean the slate?
Use a soft cloth with warm water and mild, pH-neutral soap. Avoid harsh acids or abrasive scrubbers.
Can I install this over painted walls?
It is best to remove loose paint and lightly sand the surface to provide a better mechanical key for the adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Sheet lifting at the edges
Apply more adhesive at the perimeter and ensure the surface was sufficiently degreased before installation.
Difficult to cut cleanly
Use a diamond-tipped blade for the cleanest cut on natural stone, or score and snap if using hand tools.
Visible seams between sheets
Use a matching color-matched grout or specialized stone caulk to fill and conceal gaps between veneer sheets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and dust-free. The veneer can be cut using a jigsaw or heavy-duty snips. For internal wall applications, a high-quality construction adhesive is typically sufficient. When applying to exterior walls or flooring, use an adhesive recommended for your specific surface material to ensure long-term stability. Once installed, the surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For high-traffic or wet areas, applying a stone-specific sealer is highly recommended to protect the natural slate face from staining and moisture absorption.
