If you will be placing any heat source such as a BBQ or pizza oven on top of the slate then the complete slab will need to be supported with a solid, level base and laid on a full bed of flexible tile adhesive to reduce the risk of cracking.

Our slate has a fine riven finish, this means you will see some natural texture across the surface as well as some variation in colour. We do not stock honed slate.
We can try to select slabs that either have more texture and riven marking or are fairly clean and smooth depending on your preference, however we cannot guarantee the exact finish due to the characteristics of the natural product.
We can hand polish the surface of the slate if you would prefer a smoother finish, this process often reveals the next layer in the slate which results in additional colour variation across the face of the slate.

Whenever possible we will endeavour to cut worktops from single slabs however it is often the case that the need for multiple slabs is unavoidable, in these cases our technicians will select slabs that provide as close a match as possible.

Maintenance:

Day to day maintenance couldn’t be simpler, just treat like a normal worktop regularly cleaning with a damp cloth and soapy water.

It is recommended that at least once a year to reapply the oil sealer that is provided with every order. This is for appearance’s sake; reapplying sealer will maintain a dark satin finish.

From time to time small scratches may appear in the surface these can be removed using fine wire wool and buffing the affected area, once this is done the sealer can also be reapplied to the area.

Things to avoid:

•    Although slate worktops are hardwearing and resilient you should avoid cutting directly on the surface, use of a chopping board is always recommended this can be said for all types of stone worktop.
•    Day to day use with hot pans should not affect the slate however we recommend using heat bars or chopping boards when placing very hot objects on the tops rather than directly onto the surface.
•    The use of strong acid cleaners is also to be avoided.
