Slate Noir

Slate Noir

Slate Noir is a contemporary 60×90cm outdoor porcelain tile inspired by the natural texture and tonal depth of dark slate stone. Designed specifically for exterior applications, its rich anthracite palette delivers a bold, architectural foundation that complements modern UK homes and professionally landscaped garden projects.

The surface features layered mineral movement and authentic slate detailing, creating visual interest while maintaining a refined, structured appearance. Its matt finish enhances the natural stone effect while providing a practical surface suited to outdoor living environments.

With a substantial 20mm thickness, Slate Noir is engineered for strength and stability. It is ideal for patios, terraces, pathways and garden seating areas, offering a durable, low-maintenance alternative to natural slate. The large-format 60×90cm size reduces joint lines and creates a more seamless outdoor floor plane, perfect for contemporary exterior design schemes across the UK.

Manufactured from high-density porcelain, Slate Noir is weather-resistant, frost-resistant and designed to withstand the demands of the British climate.

Styling Advice

Slate Noir performs exceptionally well in contemporary garden designs where contrast and structure define the space.

Pair with:

• Black aluminium bifold doors
• Charcoal or graphite window frames
• Warm timber cladding or oak pergolas
• Minimalist outdoor furniture in matte black
• Structured planting such as grasses or olive trees

For a dramatic evening aesthetic, integrate low-level LED strip lighting to emphasise the depth of the anthracite tone.

Use a dark grey grout for a seamless, monolithic finish, or a slightly lighter graphite shade to subtly define the layout grid.
