DESCRIPTION

This highly textured slate is quarried in La Baña, Spain. There is extensive variation in this material and the overall esthetic is rustic rather than uniform. It reflects light very evenly and provides a classic, Spanish-style look. Rated S1 Grade pursuant to ASTM standards. The test results are top-notch, making this a slate that can tolerate any weather conditions. Usually in stock at all times. A 100-year guarantee is provided for this easy-to-work-with material.
