Slate is a fine-grained and foliated metamorphic rock composed of sedimentary or volcanic ash deposits have been chemically and structurally changed through metamorphism. It has two defined lines of breakability – cleavage and grain. It is this cleavage that also allows it to have such nice, flat surfaces that are so desired in the building and construction industries for use as roofing tiles, stair treads, sidewalk slabs, flooring and other applications.
Slate is very strong and durable rock. The colour of slate is determined by the colour of the minerals its parent rock (shale) contained, and can vary from shades of green , red , gray/black, red-browns, to green-blacks and thus it can be incorporated into a variety of design projects.
Most of the slate is used to produce roofing slates as it can be cut into thin sheets, absorbs minimal moisture, and stands up well in contact with freezing water. Slate is also used for interior flooring, exterior paving, dimension stone, and decorative aggregate. Slate is sometimes used as facing stone on building exteriors. It has also been used for chalkboards, student writing slates, billiard tables, cemetery markers, whetstones, and table tops. Because it is a good electrical insulator, it was also used for early electric panels and switch boxes.
