SLATE
SLATE
Slate is derived from an original shale-type sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash resultant through low grade regional metamorphism. Slate is frequently grey in colour especially when seen en masse covering roofs. However, slate occurs in a variety of colors even from a single locality.
Slate tiles are often used for interior and exterior flooring, stairs, walkways, and wall cladding. Tiles are installed and set on mortar and grouted along the edges. Chemical sealants are often used on slate tiles to improve durability and appearance, increase stain resistance, reduce efflorescence and increase or reduce surface smoothness. Tiles are often sold gauged, meaning that the back surface is ground for ease of installation.
