Slate has the most natural,
archaistic and artistic character among stone, it owns high
praise for low-radiation, acid-resistance, frost prevention,
non-slip, fireproofing and so on. Slate is easily to be split
with specialized tools and keeps natural appearance and
fine-grained, the smoothness and flatness make slate tiles
easily to be piled up. Slate can be made into roofing slates;
it is also called roofing shingles, it is very resistant to
frost damage and freezing breakage. Slate can also be made into
tiles and wall cladding which are often used for interior and
exterior flooring, stairs, even can be set into walls to
provide a rudimentary damp-proof. Large dimension slates can be
made into precise patterns for pool tables, billiard table
beds, slabs, countertops, writing boards, window sills etc.
Small dimension and scrap material can be made into mosaic,
meshed tiles, slate crafts and random patterns. With constant
innovation, slates can be made into prefabricated stone
products such as ledge stone, culture slate, fireplace
etc.
