In recent years, kitchens have become highly stylised - with black work tops and kitchen appliances becoming something of a vogue. As a result of this trend, slate flooring has also gained in popularity - adding to the crisp minimalism created by having an entirely black kitchen.
As well as looking fantastic, slate flooring also offers a number of advantages, many of which people just aren't aware of.
For a start, slate is extremely easy to maintain; simply sweep away any dirt or debris that has accumulated and then mop with soapy water.
A natural material, slate is resistant to bacteria and allergen - making it a great choice for the kitchen.
Unlike other floor coverings, slate is a material that doesn't need to be sealed, waxed or stained; if looked after correctly, slate can also last a huge period of time - meaning that not only is it an amazing floor covering, but also a sound investment for the home.
