Welsh Blue Slate Memorials & Signs

Welsh slate is considered by many to be the best slate in the world. It is harder, denser and stronger than other slate and this makes it more durable with a longer lifespan. It is much older than other slates and was actually formed some 600 million years ago.

Another reason it lasts so well is that very little water is able to penetrate into it. It is therefore less susceptible to frost damage, Finally it has the advantage of far fewer minerals such as pyrite which gives it a cleaner finish with fewer markings. All this makes it perfect for top quality slate house signs and slate memorials.

Our welsh slate is normally 20mm thick and we can cut to any size within the price brackets. We can ask the quarry to cut thick late eg 30mm 50mm or 75mm but this will take a couple of months.
