Slate
stone has become a popular medium for both commercial and residential
exterior paving applications. In high demand due to its natural beauty,
performance characteristics, low maintenance, and durability, slate stone is
extremely hard, unaffected by freeze-thaw cycles, naturally slip resistant
and unfading. Manufacturers produce these stones for paving purposes in
custom sizes and offer several finishes and designs.
Sizes and shapes
Tiles used for pavement are available in many shapes such as square,
rectangular, patterns, irregular and custom shapes. They can be made in many
sizes, thicknesses and finishes. Custom sizes depend on slate stone
selected, finish, thickness, joint width and other factors.
