It might be quarried in the mountains of North-West Spain, but SSQ’s outstanding Matacouta slate is most at home in the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland.
Matacouta is durable and thick, making it well suited to weathering the sometimes harsh Scottish climate. Strong, long-lasting and perfectly in keeping with the natural aesthetic of so much Scottish architecture, Matacouta is an exceptional natural slate product.
Matacouta has a gorgeous deep blue-black colour, and a naturally riven texture that’s totally unique to the quarry from where the slate takes its name. The distinctive colour is completely natural and devoid of artificial pigments – which means it won’t fade even when exposed to the harshest environments. Matacouta looks so authentic, in fact, that it’s been accepted for use on several listed buildings by Heritage Scotland.
