What makes slate different?
Slate is a metamorphic rock, mainly containing quartz, chlorite, mica and calcite. Slate is a very durable product and is suitable for flooring use for most applications where a hard wearing tile is required. The bottom of slate tiles are machine-honed so it either has a flat surface or a machine-ribbed finish. The top is usually riven in appearance, and slate can be found in a variety of colours.
