The slate we offer is extracted from quarries in Germany and Spain. Using modern technology, the stone is first cut into rough blocks using modern sawing systems, from which layers of around 5-8 mm are then cut. The stone is then processed to the desired shape and an additional finish is applied to some of the products.
