Slate Stone Edges
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.
