Slate can also be used in other applications such as fireplace facings, tub surrounds, and wall cladding.  Slate will vary in color among pieces so it is a good idea to ensure it is laid out and blended prior to installation.

Because of its natural chemical makeup, slate is one of the more durable stones and will withstand years of use.  The various warm tones of slate lend a sense of elegance to any room and work well with any decorating design.

DirectBuy offers a wide selection of slate and other beautiful flooring materials at prices up to 50% off retail. You’ll find brand name home remodeling products along with great service and savings at  your local DirectBuy showroom.
