Slate Tile Porch

[heyney]

I'm considering adding slate tile to my covered front porch. Do you have experience with maintaining slate outdoors? Any other info is appreciated.

Thanks!

I've not had it but really like the look. Something to consider is that it can be slippery, especially when wet. This may be a concern since they will be exposed to rain or people coming to the porch with wet shoes. I don't know if there is something that can be done to reduce the slipperiness.

Good point, hand't thought of that. (heads to google)

My first thought was slippery!

I have rougher cut indoor/ outdoor slate at my front door entry. No problems with slipping there is enough texture for grip.
