Staff Cecil Lee Posted December 6, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 6, 2018 Slate is a natural stone and formed in layers. In opinion is not strong enough to take on the load of ordinary vehicles. This owner replaced the broken slate tiles recently. And again, has to replace them. The most common materials used on driveways are homogeneous tiles or concrete slabs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 5, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted January 5, 2019 Location: Pebble Bay condo Also not a good idea to use it for frequently used pathways. The most common is the corners will flake & chip off easily due to the gradual buildup of layers. High traffic areas... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 16, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted January 16, 2019 Also not a good idea to use slate tiles even on the walls of toilets. As slate is simply too porous. Recently, I discovered that a public toilet used slate to line the walls of the toilet. However, the slate wall was heavily vanished. It looks shiny but the main purpose is to make it sort of waterproof! But really don’t like this idea at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
