Here at SlateScape, we can reproduce the size, shape, thickness and textural features of the original material at a very competitive cost, helping you to combine high quality conservation with technically sound and economical construction.
We can supply large non-standard slates – known as ‘rag or ‘ton’ slates – as well as diminishing courses, fixed widths and also fully random size slates. The non-intrusive colours of Slatescape slate makes a perfect blend with most traditional materials, from Cornish granite to Cotswold stone. At the same time, the variegated colour of our slate displays all the liveliness and charm of natural slate, and the lightness of shade enables individual slate patterns to be displayed at their best advantage.
With SlateScape you can combine historical accuracy with technical performance, beauty, economy and speed. Whatever your project, from Grade 1 buildings downwards, simply ask us and we will do our utmost to oblige.
Production of Rag or ton slates
Each SlateScape slate gives contractors a superb regular and rectangular shape to work with. This means that they can achieve perfect alignment every time, with none of the ‘coffin effects’ so often experienced with natural slates. Installers will also appreciate the fact that SlateScape slates are delivered pre-holed, reducing wastage and saving valuable time on-site.
Furthermore, SlateScape premium slate is exceptionally flat and superbly consistent in shape and thickness. In short, SlateScape slate is a premium product which gives you the longevity and beauty of a natural slate combined with a very high performance and cost ratio.
However, natural differences in its form and appearance means that quality control is crucial. National and international standards govern the quality and origination of slate, so it is therefore vital that when a particular slate is specified it meets these standards. We always make sure that the quality and longevity of product will never be compromised.
Our dedication to quality control means that we have thorough checking systems in place to ensure that each slate meets the company’s demanding quality standards, as well as all internationally recognised standards.
Each crate of Slatescape slate carries a unique barcode, which holds all the information an end user might need to know about the origin of the slate. For example, such details as slate type, dimensions and test results are all contained on a unique barcode. It also provides information about exactly where and when the slate was processed and codes are never repeated so to ensure clear and reliable identification of the crate from quarry to installation.
