Flexible Slate Instead of Ceramic Tile

There comes a time when each of us has to do
repairs. Yes, this step is postponed and postponed indefinitely. But all,
A decision is made and a lot of questions arise at once. And one of them is the choice of finishing materials. Today we will talk about flooring. Ceramic tiles, leather tiles, laminated parquet, parquet board, linoleum, marble, granite. But this list will be incomplete, if it does not add one more
A remarkable material - flexible shale.

Flexible slate is the finest slice of shale stone,
Glued on a flexible base. This is absolutely unique material. It is produced in different sizes and for different needs, but every piece of this stone always has a unique drawing, because it was created not by human hands, not by a soulless machine, but by nature itself for billions of years. Even buying a slate of one lot from the same seller, you will not find a repetitive figure. Yes, it will be similar, but still different. This is its uniqueness.

Now about the application as a floor covering.

Flexible shale can be used instead of ceramic
Tiles. Moreover, you can lay the surface of large sheets, creating
A solid stone surface with no clearly visible joints, or
Use a slate cut into the size you need, glue it with a bar,
And fill the seams with a conventional trowel trowel of the required color. It remains only
Connect the fantasy.

Flexible slate is glued to the usual tile glue, under it
In the same way you can install heating. On it you can walk in shoes, put
On it furniture and drop on it the lids from the pans. Only ceramic tiles
At such circulation, most likely, will burst, and a stone will sustain this load without
Any consequences. It is easy to maintain, it is not afraid of chemicals
And does not require any additional processing. Is not it a godsend?

Many stop tiling. It's always long,
Always very dirty and noisy. Many, for this reason, refrain from typing
Parquet, giving preference to either a laminated analogue or a parquet
Board. They installed them for a day or two and forgot about the need to watch for a week or two
Not always fresh workers. But such a coating is not suitable for kitchen floors.
Alas. The tree can not cope with such barbaric treatment. And here to the aid can
Come a flexible shale, but only in the form of laminated parquet. No, it's
There will be no imitation stone, it will not be a drawing on the panel of the MDF. It will be a shale,
Glued on top of this very panel. Due to its small thickness, the material will not greatly increase the height and weight of each panel, but it will give it the necessary strength, at the level of ceramic tiles. Only in this case you avoid heavy and dirty tile works. Such a covering can also be heated with a warm floor, and in case of failure of a heating spiral, it will not be necessary to open the tiled floor and arrange a new renovation in the apartment. It is enough to lift the slate panels, replace the warm floor and put the shale in place. With all this you continue to walk on a solid surface, beautiful and very practical.

Yes, probably, this is not the cheapest "pleasure". But we are not considering the issues of price reduction in this article. If it were a question of this, I would recommend linoleum. As they say, cheap and angry. We are talking about a novelty, an environmentally friendly material, a unique beauty and yet a very practical material. And this is a shale.
