QUARRY & FACILITIES

WHAT IS NATURAL SLATES?Slate is a fine-grained, foliated, homogeneous metamorphic rock derived from an original shale-type sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash through low-grade regional metamorphism. It is the finest grained foliated metamorphic rock. Foliation may not correspond to the original sedimentary layering, but instead is in planes perpendicular to the direction of metamorphic compression.

A very strong foliation is called "slaty cleavage". It is caused by strong compression causing fine grained clay flakes to regrow in planes perpendicular to the compression. When expertly "cut" by striking parallel to the foliation, with a specialized tool in the quarry, many slates will form smooth flat sheets of stone which have long been used

SLATE ROOFING

A typical slate has a top, bottom and two sides. The top of the slate is known as the ‘ head ‘ and the bottom the ‘ tail ‘ , the head sits on top of the roofing batten and the tail sits on top of the slate beneath it. If the slate is not a uniform thickness the head is normally the thinner end and the tail the thicker. The front of a slate will display riven ( bevelled ) edges on all sides and this is called the ‘ face ‘ , and the underneath is the ‘ bed ‘.
