Now it is possible to replicate the beautiful appearance of Indian stone with the new Mumbai Slate collection from British Ceramic Tile.

Known for its impressive colour variation and textured finish, Indian Slate has become a highly sought after surface material within interior design. Featuring rich base colours, the look is warm and inviting for a striking natural design aesthetic.

The superior Mumbai Slate porcelain collection from British Ceramic Tile provides a stunning floor covering, emulating the true beauty of Indian slate. Strong tonal variation and a matt, riven finish deliver an authentic interpretation, bringing the unmistakable raw, earthy qualities of slate indoors.

Available in a 45x90cm size, this Mumbai Slate tile collection combines the latest trend for natural textures with a contemporary oversized format. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, this large format tile covers floor space with ease and can flow from the patio through to conservatory to hallway.

British Ceramic Tile’s head of retail marketing and brand, Jayne Adamson says: “The trend for natural materials is still popular with consumers as they look to bring the outside in and create a design that flows from one room to another. Rather than traditional slate, we chose to give retailers something more detailed and unique, capturing the essence of Indian stone – it makes a great selling point especially with consumers wanting to reflect trends from overseas in their UK homes. Another key selling point is that the range can be used outdoors for patios and feature areas, making it a versatile all rounder.”

The collection is available in rich colours of Ice, Taupe and Blue.
