Hope this reply is not too late.



I would start with a countertop manufacturer who might have Formica, Wilsonart or some sort of other high pressure laminate scrap. From previous experience I have found that getting free scraps is not that difficult, especially if color does not matter.



Both Formica and Wilsonart make slightly textured laminates now. Expensive if you can't get a free cutoff or cheap damaged piece.



Another option is to seal the floor with some sort of scrap material and the put self-adhesive floor tiles with the slate look over that. I don't believe the floor tiles are moisture resistant enough on their own due to all of the seams.



What you put underneath the tiles could be just about anything. Scrap expanded PVC, self adhesive shelf liner, vinyl film from a sign shop, etc.
