Hi all,

I'm wanting to produce a feature wall in our kitchen. I really like black slate, and originally wanted the split-faced mosaic. However, I soon realised it's very expensive and also a nightmare to keep clean. So then I looked at regular slate wall tiles.

However, since doing some research on max tile weights on walls, am I right in thinking I can't tile slate directly to a plastered wall, or is there a way.??

Many online retailers do not list the weights of tiles!

There's a small window on the same wall which would cause me grief (and I've just had the wall rendered and skimmed after I bricked up a back door).

I also like those sort of metallic oxide tiles, antracite/black colours (like this -Verlo Metallic effect wall tiles | Tiles and Mosaics ) can you get something similar in a fairly light weight tile.?
