Slate, a metamorphic rock formed from compressing sedimentary rock, mudstone, or basalt, is easily distinguishable from shale. When hammered, slate emits a distinctive ring vibration, while shale produces a dull thud. The metamorphic conditions and the type and amount of minerals present determine the color shades of slate, ranging from light grey to dark grey, with hints of green, red, black, purple, brown, and more.

Historically, slate was used for writing purposes in schools as blackboards and for pinning notices and lists. Today, it finds applications as dimension slates for electric panels, laboratory tabletops, roofing, flooring, interior and exterior architectural features like staircases, walkways, and wall cladding. Crushed slate stones were historically used for composition roofing and filler purposes.

Slate stones are easily cut into thin sheets, absorb minimal moisture, and are well-suited for high-end projects and prestigious architectural needs. With its diverse hues, slate stones contribute to the uniqueness of each flooring design.

Beyond aesthetics, slate stones hold practical value in construction. They are good electric insulators, fireproof, and work well with radiant heat, making them suitable for bathroom flooring or wall coverings. While slates are resistant to cracks, scratches, breaks, and chips, they require regular maintenance, including annual sealing.

Stone Harbour ensures quality and variety, offering slate stones at reasonable rates with precise thickness, shape, and sizes, along with meticulous packaging and shipment formalities. Our repeat clientele is a testament to the trust we’ve earned, and we remain committed to delivering materials that exceed expectations.
