Ardesia is a genuine Welsh slate with a natural cleft face, each tile carrying the fine ridged texture and depth that only riven stone provides.

Its deep charcoal tone and slip-resistant surface suit entry floors, hearths, wet rooms and covered exterior terraces.

Supplied as gauged tile in several formats, with matched trims available on request.

Material, with intention — sourced, sampled, and specified with you.

Every material gets a considered product page, not a bin in a warehouse.

We curate natural stone and tile from quarries and mills worldwide, hold the slabs and formats worth holding, and help architects, designers, and homeowners specify the right material for the project — from first sample to delivered lot.

Curated sourcing

Only the material worth holding

Marble, quartzite, limestone, volcanic stone, and porcelain & tile — selected block by block and lot by lot, with book-matched slabs and consistent runs reserved for real projects.

Samples & specification

See it and hold it first

Request a physical sample, review full-slab photography and material film, and get help with finish, thickness, format, and application so the spec is right before anything ships.

Trade-ready

Built for architects & designers

Collection pages, tear-sheets, and lot availability made for the way studios actually work — with a single point of contact from selection through delivery.

From sample to project

Considered, start to finish

Add a material to your project, request a quote, and we reserve the lot, confirm the finish, and coordinate delivery to your fabricator or site.
