Slate
stone edges refer to the borders put on the rims of various slate stone
products. Used to enhance the appearance of the ceiling, flooring or any
other exterior or interior looks, edges can be chamfered or bevelled.
Classic slate edge detailing can be done on a honed, eased edge. Edges help
taking off the sharpness taken at the top and bottom. Different edge
profiles suit different kinds of slates stylistically, from a performance
point of view. Each edge profile is available with different types of
finishes and textures.
Edges may be classified under the following heads on the basis of
techniques used to make them:
- Chamfered edges
Edges may be chamfered or beveled by using the process of Chamfering,
which is a simple process in which a polishing brick is run at an angle
of 45 °. Chamfering removes whiteness and chipped edges. Joints of
chamfered edges are easier to clean (e.g. kitchen platforms).
- Machine cut/sawn edges
Ensuring standardized sizes and designs, the machine cut or machine
sawn edges are the most popular and economically priced edges. Made by
using hot rolling cutter blade, the machines sawn edges are very smooth
and make the tiles or slabs to fit perfectly.
- Hand chiseled/hand dressed edges
Finding immense usage in exterior walls and pavements, the tiles with
hand chiseled edges are as smooth as the natural surface finish.
Professionally worked to achieve the required smoothness, these edges
are in high demand.
