slate is nice to lay,rough and natural !
you might need to grade it into different thicknessess

 

[doug boardley]

use an impregnating sealer, I normally give the slate a coat before fixing and a coat after grouting. Store slate inside before cleaning transport and scuff marks, so making sure it's bone dry before you apply your first coat of sealer

that wooden floor will need to be strong !
