What Is Reclaimed Slate Paving?
Part of the Stonecast® range, this paving is handcrafted using detailed moulds taken from genuine slate flagstones. The process captures the layered textures, distinctive clefting, and natural tonal movement found in reclaimed slate - ranging from deep, heritage-leaning blacks to softer grey colouring.
The result is a range of reconstituted slate slabs that mirror the appearance of classic Welsh slate, offering the charm of reclaimed materials with the benefits of modern consistency and availability.
