Slate Tiles for Floors, Walls & Roofs

Riven natural slate in five colourways — Silver Blue, Africa Blue, Rich Autumn, Rosa Stone and Multi Colour — stocked in Randburg and delivered nationwide.

Slate is the hardest-working natural stone tile we sell. It is split along the grain rather than sawn, which leaves the lightly textured “riven” face that gives slate its grip underfoot and its depth of colour — the reason it has been laid on South African stoeps, patios and pool surrounds for generations.

Our Northriding warehouse in Randburg stocks five slate colourways in six standard tile formats, from 200 × 200 mm up to 600 × 600 mm, so the same stone can run from a patio through to an indoor floor or up a feature wall. We also supply and install black top-nail slate roofing tiles.

Slate varies from tile to tile — that is the point of it. Come and see full crates in daylight before you choose, or WhatsApp us your floor area and we’ll work out quantities, delivery and the right sealer in one free quote.

Where slate works best

  • Patios & stoeps

    The riven face gives real grip in the wet, and the mixed tones hide dust and leaf marks between sweeps.

  • Pool surrounds

    Naturally slip-resistant underfoot — one of the few surfaces that stays safe around water without a coating.

  • Indoor floors

    Entrance halls, kitchens and living areas get a floor with depth and character that wears in, not out.

  • Roofs

    Top-nail slate roofing for a roof that looks better with every decade — we can install it too.

Good to know

Slate tiles: your questions answered

What sizes do your slate tiles come in?

Our slate tiles come in six standard sizes: 200 × 200 mm, 300 × 200 mm, 300 × 300 mm, 400 × 400 mm, 600 × 300 mm and 600 × 600 mm (limited stock). All five colourways — Silver Blue, Africa Blue, Rich Autumn, Rosa Stone and Multi Colour — are cut in these formats.

Can slate tiles be used outdoors and around a pool?

Yes. Slate is split rather than sawn, so it has a naturally textured, slip-resistant face that suits patios, stoeps, pathways and pool surrounds. It handles sun, rain and frost well.

Do slate tiles need to be sealed?

We recommend sealing slate after it is laid — it protects the surface from stains and makes the floor far easier to keep clean. Our Superseal is a water-based sealer made for slate, sandstone and paving; it goes on about five days after installation and cures within 12 hours.

How much do slate tiles cost per square metre?

We quote every job individually rather than publishing a per-metre rate that may not match your stone, size or quantity. Send us your measurements on WhatsApp and we’ll reply with a written, no-obligation quote — usually within the hour during business hours. Contractors and resellers get trade pricing.

Do you install slate roofing?

Yes. Our black top-nail slate roofing tiles are available supply-only or as a supply-and-install service. Send us your roof area or plans and we’ll quote both.

Do you deliver slate tiles outside Johannesburg?

Yes. We deliver across Gauteng and to every province in South Africa on our own fleet of trucks, and you’re welcome to collect from the Northriding warehouse in Randburg.
