Natural Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic stone formed from clay,
sedimentary rock shale and sometimes quartz. Natural graining, occasional
fossils, and a range of colour make slate a rustic yet refined choice
in décor.
Available mostly with riven (rough surface) finishes and diamond sawn
edges. Some slate is honed to give perfectly smooth surface finishes.
The range of colours available varies from plain tiles in honey, light
grey, brown and grey/black. Multicolour types include soft grey/greens
woven together with rust veins, vivid reddish browns and tans interwoven
with black and golden ambers. Chinese Mix styles are full of character
and subtle colours including greys, bottle greens, autumn brown and
reds.
They come in various sizes, e.g. 300x300, 450,450, 600x300, 600x600
to create regular patterns or totally random effects when laid. |
