Chinese Slate Paving Slabs

Chinese slate paving stones are highly sought after for their naturally split surface, which exhibits slight fissures and is calibrated to a consistent depth of 20mm±2. These stones come in black, gray, brown, grayish-brown, and beige tones. While some are pure black or near pure grey, others may feature primarily brown or multicoloured hues. We classify them as Midnight Black Slate and Multicolor Copper Slate. All Westone® Chinese slate products originate from factories owned by our shareholders in China and are exported to the UK and other countries.

Here's why Chinese slate paving stones are popular:

1. Less prone to breakage: Unlike Brazilian slate, Chinese paving stones are known for their exceptional toughness and resistance to fracturing. Despite their slight fissures and random surface lines, these variations contribute to an incredible aesthetic effect. This is why many people in the UK prefer using Chinese paving stones in both modern and rural garden settings.

2. High traffic resistance: Chinese paving stones, whether Midnight Black Slate or Multicolor Copper Slate, boast high wear resistance and extreme durability. They are slip-resistant and suitable for high-traffic environments. Additionally, they come with features such as free sealing and low maintenance requirements. Over time, the surface of Chinese Midnight Slate develops a glossy finish, adding to its allure.
