Description

Welsh Slate paving is available in two colours; Penrhyn Heather, with subtle tones of purple, blue and sometimes shades of red and Cwt-y-Bugail Dark Blue Grey, rich deep colours of blues and greys


The colours are complimented with natural variation in tones and shades, and naturally occurring veins and textures, and the natural riven finish gives a textured appearance.


Paving is naturally split and then machined to produce a uniform, calibrated thickness whilst having a 'riven' natural appearance. Its natural grain provides slip resistance as well as a genuine appearance.


Features and benefits:

  • Sustainable natural material with little or no processing and will last for hundreds of years.
  • Ecological friendly.
  • Traditional UK building material used for hundreds of years.
  • Low carbon footprint.
  • 100% natural.
  • Excellent slip resistant properties.
  • Extremely hard and durable stone.
  • High flexural and compressive strengths.
  • Unfading colour.
  • No freeze thaw issues.
  • Welsh slate is totally inert and will repel all elements.
  • Chemically inert, highly resistant to acids, alkalis, and other chemicals.
  • Unaffected by normal extremes of temperature, frost and UV resistant.
  • Unaffected by fungi, moss, insects, animals, or birds.
  • Stain resistant.
  • Nonporous.
