ABOUT SLATE CLADDING
Slate is produced from clay sediments. It has characteristic cleavage planes which were produced when the clay was metamorphosed, which may not relate to the original bedding planes. Slate can be sawn, sanded, fine rubbed, honed, polished, flame textured or bush hammered.
Slate is available in a wide range of colours, including blue/grey, silver grey and green slate from the Lake District; blue, green grey and plum red slate from North Wales; and grey slate from Cornwall. Slate is imported from Ireland, Canada, France and Spain, which is the world's largest producer of slate.
When used as a cladding material, slate should be fixed with non-ferrous fixings or cast directly onto concrete cladding units.
