Products: Slate
Slate is one of nature's
more interesting products. It is formed of compressed layers
of sediments which were originally under the world's oceans.
The stone was created by a process of metamorphosis on a regional
basis which includes a re-crystallization under compression
leading to a dense stone comprised of quartz, mica, iolite and
calcite. Since it is formed in layers, it can easily be split
to expose a beautifully textured surface.
The colors of slate tend
to be earthy, comprised of shades and mixtures of browns, beiges,
yellows, blacks, dark grays and green grays. There are also
a number of exotic slates which feature pinks, purples and copper
tones. Wide ranges of colors and tones provide you with an almost
unlimited color selection potential. Slate has been used for
centuries as the material of choice to create unique paving,
landscaping and roofing applications.
