Help finding these tiles.

Swasterix

Can anybody help me locate these specific tiles? They’re all over Pinterest but can’t find a supplier. Also seen them in a listing on Drench for a shower screen by Crosswater.  Can’t find them anywhere! Cheers in advance!

Yowza, that was quick! Thanks DG!

The ones in the picture I uploaded appear to have a bluey hue to them. Is this just a trick of my phone screen?

Looks like slate to me (which can take a bluey hue).

Brazilian slate comes in 2 main colours. Ones a blue/black, the other's a grey/black.

Ok, thanks again! 

I understand that slate tiles could be a bad idea in a shower enclosure due to ongoing maintenance required. Do you have any thoughts on this?

You need to make sure it's a quality slate and use the correct sealer.

I notice that they hadn't put them in the shower.    Slate does need sealing, you've got the potential as well for limescale on black grout, particularly.  

I have two different tiles in my own bathroom.  A small herringbone in a drier but then larger format tiles in the shower - I prefer as little grout as possible.   Depending on the size of your bathroom, it can make it look more interesting.

I had considered the issue with the grout lines. We live in a very hard water area and limescale is a nightmare. I’d started out originally wanting shower panels for this very reason (and mould) but I haven’t been able to find anything that doesn’t look cheap (to me). 

Being honest with myself I'm not sure I can be bothered with the hassle of having to seal the tiles regularly. I may see if I can source something similar for a different area maybe. I do love the style.

Thank you for helping me source them so quickly, it’s appreciated!

Have you looked at the slate effect tiles?

I spend a few hours looking this morning, but I kinda went tile blind in the end and lost track of what it was I was looking for haha. Do you have any recommendations of suppliers / sites to look at? Cheers!
