Slate:
Is a fine-grained metamorphic rock that splits into thin, smooth-surfaced layers. Common building applications for this material are floor, wall and roof tiles as well as fireplace surrounds. Tiles can be split and cut-to-size with only the natural cleft surface, or manufacturers will add value by calibrating the material to ensure a consistent thickness throughout the piece.
Uses:
The stone is used in a wide range of interior and exterior building applications, including floor tiles, wall tiles, skirting board, steps and risers.
