MSI MONTAUK BLACK ASHLER WALL TILE
Introducing the MSI Montauk Black Ashler Wall Tile — a bold, natural slate solution that redefines wall surfaces with architectural depth. The Montauk Black hue drifts from deep charcoal to near-black, with subtle natural veining that catches light and adds texture without overwhelming the space. Finished with a GAUGED thickness, these tiles install with uniform joints, delivering a precise ashlar look (Pat-3) that reads as sophisticated and timeless. This is real slate with character, not a printed imitation, so each tile carries its own unique personality inside a cohesive, high-contrast palette.
