Slate for Paving

Other Slates and alternatives
300x300mm Dartmoor Grey Slate Tiles	Cornish Slate
As noted on the page dealing with Indian Sandstone paving, stone from all over the world is now finding its way to these islands, and slate is no exception. Most of the slate being sold for paving use is sourced from China and the quality varies enormously, so a degree of caution is required when buying. Some of the slate products sold as suitable for patio or pavement construction are actually internal flooring grade tiles, totally unsuitable for the soggy British/Irish climate and likely to delaminate with the first serious frost. So make sure any imported slate is guaranteed to be suitable for external use.
Chinese Slate from Silverland Stone Ltd.	Chinese Slate Floor Tiles
Some of the slates being sold are highly decorative, such as the Chinese Peacock Slate shown here, but bear in mind that the metallic lustre of such a slate may disappear beneath the day-to-day crud that accumulates on garden patios, and, to keep it looking at its best, regular cleaning, or even sealing with a suitable sealant may be required. Personally, I'd restrict use of such highly decorative material to feature areas, rather than 'everyday' patios and pavements.	Peacock Slate from Silverland
Whinstone from Silverland	Whinstone is a popular alternative in Scotland and North-eastern England. It shares similar characteristics to slate and is becoming easier to obtain further south. Most of the Whinstone paving taken down to South-eastern England has a bluey-grey or almost turquoise colouring, which is not to everyone's taste, but makes a bold statement in a modern setting. A note to contractors - it's worth noting that Whinstone is significantly harder to cut than is slate and the use of a power saw is highly recommended.
