Slate is the traditional choice for hearths and fireplace mantles. It is a natural insulator and has the ability to stabilize temperature variations. Because it is a natural conductor of heat, it is also an ideal choice around pools and in shower enclosures.
Slate is an extremely fine grained stone with uniform, unfading colors ranging from gray-black to green, purple and red. Some slate contains slight surface intrusions and attractive veining.
We would highly recommend slate for any area of the home where warmth and tradition are a priority.
