La Fenice Slate | Italian Glazed Porcelain Tile
La Fenice Slate is a contemporary stone look intended for interior and exterior applications. The key feature is the R11 finish that is obtained with a special glaze that remains easy to clean, making this line perfect for indoors, outdoors and for creating a seamless transition between inside and outside spaces. The graphic has the spirit of a classic slate look, with the veins, streaks, clefts and tone transitions, but La Fenice toned it down and removed the color contrast to make a harmonious stone look. The color palette is warm and cozy.

Please Note
It’s never advisable to select tile from images alone, especially when viewed on a screen since they can look different on different kinds of screens. Pictures are provided to give an idea of the look and variation. Colors are intended as a guide only and may vary from actual tile. Sizes listed are nominal. Please check samples before making final selection and to get actual dimensions for layout.
Trim
The surface bullnose is made from field tile that is cut, ground and reglazed.
Usage & Installation
Slate is suitable for residential and commercial use.
With its R11 finish, Slate is suitable for most exterior paving applications including patios, pool decks, walkways, terraces, steps, and even most slopes. Of course, final suitability always comes down to the specific circumstances of the project, and proper cleaning and maintenance is required to maintain the slip resistance of any surface. It is important to work with the layout, mixing pieces within each carton and pulling from several cartons, to insure a proper blend during installation.
We recommend using a leveling system during any installation, for both vertical and horizontal applications, but especially when setting the pieces in an offset layout. Per industry standards (TCNA guidelines) and factory recommendations, the maximum offset is one third (with a maximum of 8") for any tile longer than 15 inches. Please refer to ANSI requirements for setting large format tiles, ANSI A 108.2 section 4.3.8.
As noted in the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) the coefficient of friction varies considerably due to facts not under the control of entities such as the manufacturers and distributors. These factors include, but are not limited to, contaminants, slope of terrain, drainage conditions, adjacent surfaces, etc. Suitability for any installation can only be determined by a site examination of all conditions that could affect the slip resistance of the tile being installed. Continual cleaning and maintenance must be performed once the tile has been installed.
