SSQ’s Silverstone natural slate comes from Orense, North-West Spain’s natural slate heartland. Smooth-textured, and a tasteful blue-black in colour, it’s proved to be a favourite of roofing contractors for its attractive grain, its consistency and its light weight. What’s more, its inert mineral inclusions will not leach or run down the slate.
