Slate, like granite or marble, is a natural stone. It falls in the family of metamorphic rocks, along with familiar stones like quartz and soapstone. When used for flooring, slate is sold in tile form.<\/p>\n

Slate was once used primarily for buildings and outdoor structures, but it is becoming more common as a flooring option, particularly in kitchens and entryways. Today, slate is the most common type of stone tile. It is available in dark variations of several colors, including green, purple, black, gray and red. <\/p>\n

Cost of Slate Floors <\/h4>\n

Slate usually costs about $5 to $10 per square foot for materials, depending on where you live, how the room is configured and the size of the tile. Density also has a significant impact on price – the denser the stone, the more durable and expensive it will be. Installation is usually more expensive than with ceramic tiles.<\/p>\n
