Grayson Slate
Grayson Slate® is the classic unfading gray black slate from Buckingham County, Virginia. This exceptional slate is quarried and fabricated by James River Slate Company®, a subsidiary of Vermont Structural Slate Company. It is an excellent choice for interior and exterior applications. Because of its superior properties and performance, depth of color and rich texture, architects repeatedly specify this natural slate for interior slate flooring, exterior paving stone, stair treads, fireplace surrounds, slate wall cladding including slate wall shingles and roofing.
