What defines a slate look?

Slate is recognised by its markings: fine lines running diagonally across the surface and a grey that looks cooler or warmer depending on the light. These markings bring a wall to life without making it restless — unlike a smooth, single-colour surface.

Cemento Scuro translates this character into a light, cool grey with fine diagonal markings. It suits modern bathrooms as well as calm, minimalist living spaces. You'll find more shades of grey in the concrete-look range.

Slate effect in the bathroom and shower

In wet areas SPC shows its strength: the core is 100% waterproof and the PU wear layer protects the surface. The large formats need far fewer joints than tiles; connections and cut edges are sealed with silicone.

Unlike real slate tiles, the panels need no sealing or impregnation. A damp microfibre cloth is enough for everyday cleaning.

Slate effect as a feature wall in living spaces

Behind the sofa or the TV, the fine slate-like streaks set a calm accent. The cool light grey goes well with warm wood, matte black and chrome and keeps smaller rooms open too.

The panels go onto any flat, load-bearing surface — drywall, plaster or old tiles: the Drop-Click joint connects them, mounting adhesive holds them on the wall. Allow about 15–20 minutes per m².
