| The lively colors and unique texture make
slates appropriate for interior as well as exterior applications.
Slate is formed of compressed layers of sediments formed under
ocean. Since it is formed in layers, it can easily be split to
expose beautifully textured surfaces. The usual colors of slates
are earthy browns, beiges, yellows, black, dark-grays, and greenish-gray,
pinks, purples and copper are also found. They usually exhibit
lot of variations even in the same quarry. Slates are used for
flooring, cladding and landscaping. |
