Slate Stones
Slate stones are natural, durable, fine-grained rocks known for their strength, unique colour patterns, and versatility. Widely used for flooring, cladding, paving, and exterior design, slate stones add a stylish and long-lasting finish to any space. Some people refer to any smooth fine-grained rock as “slate.” Others restrict the word ‘slate’ to metamorphic rocks because they have also been subjected to pressure and heat. However, this article focuses on the more widespread definition: naturally occurring speckled compacted clay-rich sedimentary rock that splits along flat planes and maybe quarried for roofing materials or building purposes.
Natural slate stones have an excellent strength-to-weight ratio – much stronger than slate formed from crushed stone by artificial processes. Slatestone is a type of rock that is predominantly composed of shale. It is a versatile material that can be used for both interior and exterior applications, and it is popular for its unique colour veins.
Slate stone tiles are versatile for both interior and exterior applications and is popular for its unique colour veins. Ranging from neutral hues to vibrant oranges and blues, slate stones are versatile natural stone that adds style and interest to any space. As well as offering impressive durability and weather-proof qualities, the slate’s modern look and naturally riven texture can enhance any space with drama and contemporary style.
