Paving Superstore Slate 'Ideal Range' Black WALL CLADDING
Product Description
Slate wall cladding is a stylish and practical solution for transforming both interior and exterior walls. Crafted from high-quality slate, the process begins with blocks carefully extracted from quarries, which are then sliced into thin sheets using advanced cutting machinery. These sheets are expertly trimmed to the desired size and thickness, ensuring uniformity and ease of installation. Depending on the desired aesthetic, the slate is honed or polished to achieve a sleek, smooth finish or left in its raw, natural state for a beautifully textured and rustic appearance.
The versatility of slate wall cladding makes it an ideal choice for a range of applications, from feature walls and fireplaces to garden boundaries and facades. Whether installed as seamless panels or in individual pieces, slate cladding offers timeless elegance, durability, and low maintenance, perfect for enhancing any space with its natural charm and character.
Each piece measures 600x150mm
Black slate offers a timeless colour in rich dark charcoal tones.

Material Information
Slate Description:
Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock that is formed from sedimentary rock, usually shale or mudstone, through intense heat and pressure over time. The process of slate formation, known as metamorphism, causes the rock to become denser, harder, and more durable. Slate has been used for centuries as a material for roofing, flooring, and paving due to its durability, water resistance, and attractive appearance. As a paving material, slate is highly versatile and can be used in a range of applications, from patios and garden paths to walling and garden features and is very hardwearing and highly impervious to stains and algae. Slate paving has a mildly riven or naturally uneven surface where the stone has been handsplit across the natural layers in the stone. Brazilian slate generally has a flatter surface than Indian slate and the edge finish with most slate products is usually sawn to give a straight finish, although, as with all natural stone, there may be a slight tolerance on the dimensions and regularity of the cut edge. As slate is formed in layers, it's possible to occasionally encounter a small amount of shaling on the surface of the paving where it has been recently quarried and this will soon cease once the paving wears in following laying. Slate paving works well in both traditional and contemporary garden styles and adds a touch of class to any garden.
Slate Colour:
The colour options of slate paving slabs are as varied and rich as the natural landscapes from which this metamorphic rock is sourced. Slate is available in a wide range of shades and hues, from earthy browns and greens to smoky greys and blues. The typical colour options with slate are as follows:
Blue | Black - this slate paving has dark blue-grey colouring with satin colours when dry and rich dark grey-black shades when wet. This classic shade brings understated elegance providing a sleek and sophisticated backdrop to your patio.
Grey | Green - this shade range of slate introduces elegent grey-green tones and a mid shade colour palette. The cool tones of this range bring willowy hues and a contemporary stylish finish.
Rustic | Copper - this mix of slate colours brings a steely grey backdrop combined with shades of warm terracotta, rich sienna and golden ochre as a contrasting overlay, offering a bold statement patio stone.
