Daltile Continental Slate Tile
$91.45
Unit price $7.75 per ft2Continental Slate brings the rugged, layered texture of quarried slate to a through-body porcelain and glazed-ceramic tile engineered for everyday living. Warm earth tones — from soft Egyptian Beige to deep Asian Black, plus rich multi-tone blends — deliver an authentic cleft-stone look in kitchens, baths, entryways, and living spaces, with none of the sealing or upkeep of natural stone.
Features
- Natural cleft-slate look — a high-definition textured surface recreates the movement and depth of quarried slate.
- Warm, versatile palette — eleven colorways span soft neutrals, deep charcoals, and multi-tone stone blends.
- Three floor sizes — 6″×6″, 12″×12″, and 18″×18″ for floors, walls, and feature layouts.
- V4 random shade variation — pronounced tile-to-tile movement for an organic, natural-stone character.
- Dense & low maintenance — under 0.5% water absorption on floor tile; unlike real slate, it never needs sealing.
- Made in the USA — produced domestically to Daltile's quality standards.
