The range of tiles from Slateish are composed of reclaimed Richelite or Paperstone, a high tech paper resin layer material (if you need more detail Google has your back). Aside from some directional jewellery, the brand specializes in tasteful, simple slate effect tiles for all uses.
The range comes in six unpretentious shapes, and there is no minimum order, so you can bring some sexy stone effect to even the smallest space. Of all the geometrical styles, our favorite is six-sided Hex, or three-sided Tri, which will both bring an understated cool to surfaces. The tiles are lightweight and easy to fix, in a selection of 3 earthy colors – Soot, Chocolate and Bark (slightly darker when painted with Bioshield sealant for waterproofing).
You may have come across paper resin today unwittingly, at the skate park (?) or in a commercial kitchen, and perhaps you mistook it for a heavier material altogether. The effect is convincingly stony, and the strength, waterproofness and ease of installation (it can be cut to tight degrees or curves, unlike stone) attracts many civil architects to Richelite like materials.
Inevitably though the installation produces offcuts. This is where Slateish begins, as the designers have cunningly chosen a raw material that is made of another man’s trash (and made it look really quite smart).
We can see these in saunas and spas, as urban splash-backs and country hallways. In my opinion, Hex and Tri are cool without risking looking shoddy in 2, 5 or even 10 years. And to boot, they’re sustainable. Beauty.
