Liquidation

The surface of dry slate is a lighter shade. Black slate becomes dark grayish-blue. When soaked, it becomes dark black. This dark-black appearance can be maintained by applying a color-enhancing sealer. You can also maintain its natural appearance without adding any sealer, or by using a neutral sealer. Being a natural stone, the thickness of slate may vary slightly. Slate's natural cleavage presents a fine grain on the surface, giving it an incomparable richness. The fine natural grooves give it anti-slip properties. From an aesthetic point of view, the natural finish gives a rich, sought-after appearance not found with other natural stones such as granite, marble, quartz, etc. In addition to slate's natural cleavage finish, it is also possible to obtain a polished surface finish. This finish is obtained by sawing the slate parallel to the bedding and polishing the surface with diamond tools to remove tool marks and obtain a perfectly flat surface. This finish is particularly interesting as it exposes the grain of sliced slate across its cross-section, much like a piece of wood cut in the same direction.
