Slates

Slate is a natural metamorphic stone well‑known for its distinct layered cleft surface. Quarried from genuine slate deposits, it can be split into various sizes for diverse applications. Highly durable, slip‑resistant and weather‑proof, slate performs excellently for both indoor and outdoor projects. Widely used for flooring, roof tiles, wall cladding, paving and landscaping. It comes in rich natural colours including dark grey, black, green, rust and multi‑mix tones. Its unique cleft texture delivers authentic rustic charm to residential and commercial builds.
Tested in accordance with ASTM C97 (Absorption & Density) and ASTM C170 (Compressive Strength) by Natural Stone Institute (NSI) certified protocols.
