Slate is a metamorphic rock, like marble, however instead of forming from pre existing limestone it is formed with the low-grade metamorphism of the sedimentary rock shale.
Like shale, it is a very fine-grained rock comprised mostly of microscopic clay minerals, with traces of quartz and calcite. The alteration of shale by heat and pressure produces the pronounced partings (slate cleavage) which give slate its characteristics.
Slate is equally at home in both contemporary and traditional design schemes with Stonell's Mountain slate tile range giving a smooth modern feel. Other more rustic tiles are perfect for a traditional room both with the added bonus of being very hard-wearing.
Please note: Due to the nature of natural slate
each tile will vary slightly in colour, shade and texture. This is part of its character and adds to its charm.
