Stone Flooring For Kitchens – Beautiful, Natural And Inexpensive….
Some times it’s difficult to find a nice floor for a kitchen, sun room or conservatory. The norm is that we tend to troop down to the local tile store and torture ourselves looking at hundreds of variations of the same general tile. While I appreciate that this works for lots of people, however for others it’s just not for them I personally like natural stone flooring and think it makes a lovely mellow canvas to build your room around. As it’s a totally natural product, it is very flexible so you will be able to change the colour of your room as many times as you like without being totally stuck due to the colour of your floor.
Some of the benefits are
- Its very dramatic
- Works both in contemporary and traditional settings
- Its very forgiving in relation to cleaning and makes
- You can carry the flooring through to outside areas, giving a nice link / flo from inside the house to outs.
- It works with underfloor heating
- Its a very inexpensive stone flooring option – always nice to hear!!

Hi folks
I am doing a new build to look old, farmhouse style. I am after reclaimed bangor blues, preferably 24×12. I need enough for approx 190 m2. Could you please advise how many I would need and at what cost. If you stock other sizes could you please let me know.
Many thanks

Hi Stuart. There are lots of different sizes of Bangor Blue roof slates but Architects often specify 24” x 12” (600mm x 300mm) as a norm. However, quite often you can get a better deal if you go for a slightly bigger / small slate that will still get the look that you are trying to achieve.
In relation to cost, I will get one of our lads to make contact with you via email, as we don’t give out prices over our blog, however, reclaimed slates will cost approximately half the price of new Bangor Blue Slates and will look at least as good (better in my personal experience)!
