Slate is a metamorphosis, a process in which the elements of a small stone to move closer to create a crystalline structure that formed as a crystallization of stone known form. All this happens while the stone in a solid state, and the material from which the stone has not changed, just relocated to be closer to each other in a model of crystal. Metamorphosis can be caused by heat or pressure. The materials to be subjected to this transformation toSlate forms are generally a shale-type sedimentary rocks.

Slate forms in layers that are easily split into thin lines, commonly known as a split slate. During the original formation of sedimentary rocks are forced down into these immense levels of pressure. The resulting slate is made up of many different beds of sedimentary rocks, which are now all aligned in the same direction.

While slate is usually a gray or gray-blue, but it can also be colored effectsits surface. These different from the beds of sedimentary rock from which they come together, often make this material a contrast of colors.

Slate is more commonly used for roofs, because it can be cut into thin layers. It 'also popular in flooring, countertops and architectural applications due to its durability, its natural beauty, and is relatively cheap. Clefted makes the surface slippery, causing them to be there in kitchens, bathrooms, popular, andRestaurants and public corridors and other high traffic areas. It 'also used in furniture decoration, aquariums, and also new accessories such as table games.

Slate is found naturally in the mountains. If it is broken, it usually is made in large blocks known as plates. These blocks are then cut into smaller sheets for distribution. The size of the plate can make it, depends on the relative strength of the type of slate. The stratification of these intrinsicMaterial makes some pretty big size difficult to manage and protect them from cracking.

In stores, it is usually slate in various sizes including 16x16, 12x12, 8x8, and available in sheets of various sizes, usually goes to about 80 cm in length. The implants are usually done with the support of the mortar, but for different thicknesses. Joints are then run along the joints of the stones. It 'important to seal and protect adequately all the tiles before grouting them.
