Key Features
- A natural stone.
- Primarily formed with the coming together of clay and volcanic ash.
- Can be honed or riven.
- Slate varies significantly in durability – Italian Slate is softer, not appropriate for a worktop, however the Brazilian is a bit tougher. We can also source Berwyn Slate from Wales which is really strong and great for worktops.
- Thicknesses: 20mm or 30mm
People might choose slate because:
- It’s a very traditional worktop surface, which depending on the finish can look rustic farmhouse or modern industrial.
- Slate works really well as flooring for both interiors and exteriors.
