PIETRA ART SLATE II

To enhance our popular Pietra Art Slate product line, Florida Tile proudly introduces Pietra Art Slate
II. We’ve added sizes to the four existing colors and additional - complimentary colors.
The versatility and affordability of this natural product offers unparalleled creative potential. This
classic stone brings a timeless beauty to any setting and is unmatched in durability. One of the many
appealing characteristics of slate is the wide variety of colors. No matter the era or current trend, slate
never goes out of style. Once properly installed, your slate floors, walls or countertops will last
virtually forever. Years later your slate installation will look as new as the day it was installed. When
sealed, slate does not wear, burn, stain or fade - repair costs become a thing of the past. Slate floors
require little more than an occasional sweeping and damp mopping. Periodically a sealer can be
applied, which will bring out the slates naturally rich colors and further ease its upkeep.
Slate is a soft porous stone, surprisingly comfortable to walk on in shoes, socks, stockings - even bare
feet! The porosity of slate adds another surprising benefit - warmth. Slate floors retain heat, rather
than reflecting it.

The natural texture of Pietra Art Slate II makes it slip resistant at all times, even when wet. This
feature makes it a natural choice for bathrooms, foyers, kitchens and stairs.
With the addition of the stunning Pietra Art Slate decoratives, including the dynamic Medallions,
your design possibilities are truly without limit.
