Slate Worktops

Suppliers of Natural Stone Slate

Master of granite and marble are specialist slate worktop suppliers and produce bespoke slate worktops and products to homes and businesses throughout Essex, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas.

Slate is mainly composed of the minerals quartz and muscovite or illite. Slate can often be formed along with several other minerals: biotite, chlorite, hematite, pyrite and although less frequently: apatite, graphite, kaolinite, magnetite, tourmaline, zircon and feldspar. In the purple slates of North Wales, ferrous reduction spheres form around iron nuclei and can leave a light green spotted texture. Slate surfaces are a perfect natural stone worktop choice for durability, high heat resistances and rustic appearances. As slate resistances are high, this material is a popular choice for many other applications too.

Planning your Slate Worktops

Slate is cut into blocks and then cut down into slabs before polishing for use and because slate is 100% natural each slab is original and can only be matched by colour and pattern if cut from the same block. Consideration into the quantity of slabs required to complete your project is strongly advised, check with us in advance so that we can source the materials of preference, as some supplier stock levels vary from day to day. if you wish to go ahead, let us know so that we can reserve or store the slate in our yard.
