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:
