Why slate effect LVT?
Slate effect LVT solves the real-slate problems: cold underfoot, heavy to lift and fit, susceptible to acid-etch from harsh cleaners, expensive labour cost for skilled fitting. The premium tier LVT slate decors with embossed-in-register surface textures look and feel remarkably close to real slate at conversational distance, at roughly a third of the installed cost.
