Slate

Slate is a metamorphic stone that is formed of layers. Due to these layers or planes it can be easily split into thin plates. It is commonly grey, but some also contain iron-oxide, which provides a yellow-brown colouring.

Allstone’s slate stone collection brings natural beauty to outdoor flooring, fireplace hearths, and landscaping projects. With its unique texture, rich colour variations, and durable composition, slate is an excellent choice for paving, tiles, and pool areas. Whether restoring a heritage verandah, designing a contemporary space, or upgrading your fireplace hearth, our premium slate products offer style and function.
