Slate Paving Slabs | Stone Slabs

London Stone’s Slate Paving is chosen for its ability to split naturally into a fairly flat surface, which makes it suitable for a range of styles. Available in Brazilian Black, new for 2019 Brazilian Grey, or subtle Green, this versatile stone is evenly coloured, working well in a sleek, contemporary design or as a strong statement complementing a period property. Slate Paving looks lovely in warm positions where its rich colours pick up the sunshine. An added advantage is that these slate paving slabs are very dense, with very low porosity, and therefore naturally stain-resistant. This makes slate stone slabs one of our lowest-maintenance natural paving choices. Complement your Slate Paving with off-the-shelf Bullnose Step Treads or Bespoke Step Treads, Coping Stones, Pier Caps and Pool Surrounds. Our skilled stonemasons are happy to create the edge profile of your choice. Because of Slate’s low porosity, it should be laid using a bond bridge to ensure adequate adhesion between the Slate and the bedding layer. Like all our natural paving choices, London Stone’s Slate Paving is calibrated to a depth of 20mm. This added thickness creates a stronger product, suitable for driveways and high-traffic areas, and the calibration makes it easier to lay, so saving on labour costs.
