Slate
Slate is a a fine-grained metamorphic rock that forms when shale undergoes metamorphosis. Slate splits into thin layers with smooth surfaces. It ranges in color from grey to black or from red to green, depending on the minerals contained in the shale from which it formed.
Slate has been used in construction for hundreds of years in applications as diverse as roofing to paving, and walling to garden decoration. This material can be easily worked as its layered make up allows easy splitting.
Slate is available in a range of colours, finishes and sizes.
