ABOUT SLATE FLOORING

Natural slate, which is produced from fine clay sediments, is available as a flooring material. Colours vary widely, depending on the source of the slate. North Wales produces slate in blue, grey and plum red. Cornish slate is typically grey. Spain, which is the largest manufacturer of slate in the world, produces blue/black slate.
