Slate stones have various levels of porosity, hardness and compressive strength. They are best suited for exterior and interior applications. Slate renders a graceful, natural finish to any building and is more cost effective than other wall and floor coverings. All natural slate stones are fireproof and non-slippery. It is used in architecture, flooring, wall cladding and roofing etc. The usual colors of slate are black, dark grey, greenish grey, copper and purplish grey.
A great combination of earth tone colors and the finish makes this stone one of its kinds. The vibrant colors and unique texture makes slates appropriate for interior as well as exterior applications. Slate is formed of compressed layers of sediments formed under ocean.
Slate is a regionally metamorphosis, argillaceous rock, that has developed but has suffered re-crystallization, and compressed into a dense stone made up of quartz, iolite, mica and calcite. Because it is formed in layers, it can easily be split to expose beautifully textured surfaces. The usual colors of slates are earthy (various shades and mixes of browns, beiges, yellows), black, dark-grays, and greenish-gray but shades of pinks, purples and copper are also found. They usually exhibit lot of variations amongst the pieces quarried from the same pit. Slates, depending on their individual hardness, are used for flooring, cladding and landscaping.
