Because of its superior properties and performance, medium gray color and rich texture, architects repeatedly specify this natural Vermont slate for interior slate flooring, exterior paving stone, stair treads, fireplace surrounds, slate wall cladding, countertops and roofing.

Natural Cleft

Honed

Cascade

Natural Cleft - a textured, natural finish, both visually and to the touch. Achieved by splitting the stone along its cleave with a hammer and chisel.
Honed - an extremely smooth, eggshell finish. Achieved with the use of the fine diamonds.
Cascade - a fairly flat, uniform finish with subtle ripples and soft texture.
