The traditional dark colour of this slate, which throws a hint of blue in some light conditions, provides a deep grounding effect. The honed finish brings out the detail of the billowing veining that makes each piece unique. The pencil edge is slightly sharper than a traditional bullnose, which can bring in some sharp modern lines, with a slight rounded finish on the top and bottom edges. Afterall it’s these little details that differentiate the overall finish of your project.
