chinese slate Description

i'm building a new house.   i found 16x16 chinese slate Tiles (http://www.g682.net) (1/4" thick, or so) at a great price.  but, before i buy them,  are these Tiles (http://www.g682.net) going to be a royal headache?   no, i'm not going to install soft slate on a Counter (http://GialloFiorito.com) top in the kitchen or in a full bath floor or in a shower enclosure.  but are the kitchen floor, floor in a 1/2 bath, pantry and (http://maplered.com) foyer reasonable applications?  i'm guessin' an outdoor application for this porous thin tile over conscrete is ill-advised (i live outside portland (http://maplered.com) , oregon and (http://maplered.com) get generous frost at 1100 ft elevation) --- or is it?.  and (http://maplered.com) , for the record, do i preseal before grouting?  what spacing between 16x16" Tiles (http://www.g682.net) would u recommend?  thanks, todd
