Application of Clean Slate

Slate is a beautiful, fine-grained rock composed of clay, quartz and shale that easily splits into its signature, distinctive layered sheets. It is metamorphic, meaning that it started out as one thing and then changed over time. As a result, it is indeed a stone that bravely stands up to ever changing environments, temperatures, and moisture. This makes it a superb material for most any indoor or outdoor application. Easily cut to size, split at any thickness and machined to any finish, slate’s versatility in design and construction is limitless.

Whether nestled in a log cabin or making a dramatic statement at an upstate penthouse, slate tiles are right at home. They add visual interest and character to make your project stand out as truly one-of-a-kind.  It makes an incredibly durable stain and moisture resistant counter top, floor, or shower enclosure and is comfortable being in the spotlight when incorporated into a backsplash.

When choosing clean slate for outdoors, check to see which varieties are best suited for your climate. Many types are impervious to both heat and freeze/thaw cycles, which make them ideal for your patio, pool and landscaping projects. When in its original state, it is very slip resistant and stays remarkably cool underfoot in the heat of the summer months. Another advantage is that it is unaffected by acid, so it can be laid directly onto soil, unlike other materials which usually need sand beds. Slate pavers give you the strength of concrete along with beautiful texture and style.
