Questions & Answers

for outdoor applications on top of concrete what substrates do you recommend
ByMay 6, 2025
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

For outdoor installations over concrete using MSI Montauk Black Slate, the best practice is to use a stable, crack-free concrete base combined with a polymer-modified thin-set mortar. For added durability and to accommodate movement, consider an uncoupling membrane and/or a waterproofing membrane. Always ensure proper drainage, full mortar coverage, and regular sealing of the slate for long-term performance. Good luck with your project!

    Can this tile be used for a patio table that has 12x12 square frames?
    ByMay 3, 2025
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Yes, this 12x12 slate tile can fit your patio table’s square frames. Please make sure the frame can support the tile’s thickness and weight, and seal the slate for outdoor durability. We recommend working with a professional installer for best results. Good luck with your project!

      What are the dimensions of the (20 pc/80sf) pallet?
      ByApr 28, 2025
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Each tile measures 24 inches long by 24 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.44 inches. When 20 tiles are stacked together, the stack is about 8.8 inches tall. Adding an estimated 4 to 6 inches for the packaging and pallet base, the total height of the pallet comes to approximately 13.8 inches. For safety, it’s best to round this up to 14 inches. Good luck with your project!

          ByApr 2, 2025
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

            Does this tile come in the herringbone layout on mesh backing?
            ByMar 27, 2025
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            This tile does not typically come pre-mounted in a herringbone layout on mesh backing. It is sold as individual loose tiles, which allows for flexibility in installation patterns—including herringbone—but the layout would need to be arranged manually during installation. Good luck with your project!

              Can I use a tile cutter for this stone tile or do I need a saw?
              ByMar 23, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              We recommend using a wet saw to cut this tile. If a specific cut can't be made with a wet saw, a 4-inch grinder can be used for curves, cutouts, or hard-to-reach angles. Good luck with your project!

                Installing on a bathroom floor, not in the shower area only on the main floor area. What type of sealer should I be using for grouting?
                ByFeb 25, 2025
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                After allowing your grout to dry for 24 hours, ensure the surface is clean and free of dirt. Apply a tile sealer, we recommend Internet SKU#202907686 and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results. Good luck with your project!

                  We’re truly sorry to hear that most of your tiles arrived damaged—that’s certainly not the experience we aim to deliver. Shipping natural stone can sometimes be tricky, but we understand how frustrating this must be. Please contact our customer care team so we can assist you with a resolution. We appreciate your feedback and are here to help make things right. MSI-Surfaces

                  Great looking tile which worked well in the understairs bar area. We cut the tiles in half to stagger the pattern. 2 cases came completely intact which allowed us to have no waste and even return a case that was there in case of damage or mess ups.

                  Felt wet. Stone was soft. Almost half the order was broken or cracked upon unpacking.

                  We're truly sorry to hear about the condition of your order and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Slate can have natural variations, but it shouldn’t feel overly soft or arrive damaged—that’s certainly not the experience we aim for. Please reach out to our customer care team so we can assist further and look into making this right. Your feedback is important to us and will be shared with our quality team. MSI-Surfaces

                  Disaster!
                  Shipping disaster! I ordered 9 pallets of this. Tiles arrived at the house when I wasn't there. When I got there, the tiles were all haphazardly stacked on one pallet, unboxed, unprotected, and many are broken! I want a full refund or replacement tiles ASAP! Order #WG83513041.

                    Tiles scrape against each other in transit
                    The tiles are all scraped up from rubbing against each other in the box, and one (out of five) arrived broken. Box needs to be snug or there should be papers between the tiles.

                      My new entry way
                      I saw a small image online and knew this was the look I wanted for my newly redone entryway. It was installed today and I couldn't be happier!! It's gorgeous with the color variations and texture variations it really achieves the look I was hoping for. I will probably want to redo my kitchen with the same tile but a different size.
