Because of its superior properties and performance, three dimensional appearance and rich texture, architects specify this natural slate for interior flooring, exterior paving stone, stair treads, fireplace surrounds and stone wall cladding. Black Lace Slate is available in natural cleft, honed and cascade finishes.
