Slate Flooring

A fine-grained metamorphic rock that characteristically splits into broad sheets. A durable stone which presents a diverse range of colours and textures. We offer 'riven' or natural cleft surface slate which is rustic by its nature with chips and chisel marks. Some of our ‘riven’ slate varies in thickness or is ‘uncalibrated’ and therefore requires ‘beddingup’ with the appropriate thick bed adhesive during installation. We also offer smooth or ‘honed’ slate that are machined to create this surface. Some of the dark smooth slate can be prone to scratch marks.
