Stone gallery — Slate

Slate splits
along its own bed.

That is the whole character of the material: cleaved rather than sawn, so every piece carries a face the quarry gave it. Seven slates, supplied as riven or calibrated tiles, ledger strips for wall cladding, and mesh-backed panels for fast site work.

Riven & calibrated tiles Ledger & strip cladding Mesh-backed panels 10, 12, 15, 20 mm Gauged or ungauged

Seven slates,
no two pieces identical.

Shade range is part of the product, not a defect. If a job needs a tight range we will pull the batch from one bed and say so on the quotation; if it wants movement, Kund and Copper give you plenty.

Natural cleft (riven)Split along the bed, thickness varies within a tolerance. The face is the quarry's — grippy underfoot, never two the same.
CalibratedBack gauged to an even thickness so tiles set flat and fast on adhesive. Face stays riven.
Honed & brushedFace worked flat or softened for interiors, reception floors and feature walls.
Ledger & strip claddingSplit-face strips bonded into panels — dry-stack or mortared, with matching corner pieces.
Mesh-backed panelsPre-assembled on mesh for quick installation on large elevations, supplied with loose pieces for cuts.
FormatsCalibrated tiles, random slabs, risers and treads, copings, roofing and paddle stones, crated or palletised.

Where slate goes

What buyers are usually building when they order a container of it.

Slate is dense and low-absorption, so it holds up outdoors better than sandstone — but it cleaves, which rules it out for carved memorial work. For headstones, granite.

Wall claddingLedger strips and mesh panels in Silver Grey, Silver Shine and Kund Multicolor.
FlooringCalibrated JAQ Black and Silver Grey for interiors, honed where a flatter face is wanted.
Paving & pathsRiven tiles and paddle stones, the natural face giving grip in the wet.
Pool & gardenDeoli Green and Copper for coping, edging and water features.
RoofingSplit roofing slates in the traditional sizes, sorted for thickness.
Memorial plaquesFlat engraved plaques and name markers where a riven border suits the design.
