TileTerms#2: TUMBLED FINISH Stone finish achieved by putting the stones in a machine that tumbles the stone around together causing uneven rough surface and edges. This finish has a rustic appeal. Picture: Ivory Dove

TileTerms#1: SLATE Fine-grained, foliated, homogeneous metamorphic rock derived from an original shale-type sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash through low-grade regional metamorphism

TileTip#3: Hire ONLY a properly licensed contractor to do the installation. If your contractor is not licensed and insured (bonded), you may be liable if they get hurt on the job or in your home.

TileTip#2: Once you’ve calculated how much tile you require, it is a good idea to purchase all your materials at the same time to guarantee color consistency.

TileTip#1: Ask to inspect the material before you buy and before you take delivery. Stone will vary in color shade, texture, veining, etc. Remember, use of stone constitutes acceptance. A reputable stone retailer, contractor, distributor or importer will be proud to show you their selection in advance.
