Product description

With an even natural split and crisp sawn edges, Rustic Slate Paving brings drama to contemporary spaces, while its splashes of blacks, greys, copper and rust also blend comfortably with more traditional settings. Whether in one of our four off-the-shelf formats or a bespoke paving, the marbled warmth of the slate paving slabs creates a strong design statement. We recommend that all customers read our product & installation guides and view our colour variation boards before buying.

We love the drama and warmth that Rustic Slate Paving adds to garden designs. The natural split and sawn edges create a sleek look, while the mix of colours adds depth and character. Highly recommended!Read More

About Rustic Slate Paving

Overview

Slate is a metamorphic rock derived from shale, composed of clay minerals and volcanic ash. It has a fine-grained texture and a rich colour palette, making it excellent for outdoor applications.

Natural Characteristics

Rustic Slate will contain natural blemishes, veining, and small holes, all of which are characteristics of natural stone.

Receiving Your Delivery

Materials with sawn edges can contain small chips to the corners, edges or on the back of the slab. This is an unavoidable result of the production, handling and transportation process and is not considered a defect. Most small chips are not visible or unnoticeable after the stone has been installed and pointed. On arrival, sawn stones can also display residual moisture and may need cleaning and drying before installation or pre-sealing.

Dimensional Tolerance

London Stone recommends ordering an additional 10% to allow for wastage, cuts, and the occasional piece which you may not like the look of. London Stone will not refund, or exchange stone based on variation in colour, texture, natural characteristics, or small chips.

Distribution of Slabs

It is advisable to sort through all crates on arrival so that colour variation can be distributed evenly throughout the paved area. At this point, any slabs with heavier chipping, colour variation or markings can be set aside to be used as cuts or wastage.

Slide to view

Stone looks very different when wet and dry. In its dry state, the color may seem more subdued, and the surface texture appears prominent, but once water is applied, the product’s colour becomes more vibrant, and hidden patterns are revealed.
