Slate Products
FANTASTIC RANGE OF SLATE PRODUCTS
Offering both reclaimed and new slate
At Markstone we stock new Brazilian Slate along with Reclaimed Slate including that from the local Delabole quarry. Brazilian slate is a rich, durable natural stone known for its deep colour, subtle texture, and impressive strength. Its versatility shines in applications such as slate sills that frame windows with clean, weather resistant elegance, slate slabs that deliver bold character for kitchen worktops or hearths, and slate flooring that offers long lasting beauty underfoot. Whether used indoors or out, Brazilian slate brings a refined, timeless look that elevates both modern and traditional projects. We offer a bespoke cutting and polishing service on all our Brazilian Slate, made to your given measurements or templates. Explore our selection of available products below:
Slate Flooring
Brazilian Slate is ideal for flooring, it is immensely practical in kitchens, hallways and other areas of high foot traffic. We stock 10mm thick, largely used for internal spaces, and 20mm thick, mainly used externally. Brazilian Slate is extremely hard wearing and will last a lifetime, and once sealed will only require occasional cleaning or mopping with a light detergent. No two tiles are the same, so be prepared for quite a bit of variation. This really is however, part of the charm and why it is so popular.
We stock 7 different sizes of Brazilian slate tiles giving you a greater choice to create the design and look you want. Smaller sizes are quite often used in smaller rooms, whereas a mixture of the larger sizes can recreate the look of the traditional random look slate flooring. You may want to use all one size or go for a mixture of up to 5 different sizes, using the larger tiles in prominent places to 'show them off'. Whilst laying the tiles you are welcome to swap tiles around and at the end of the project return any unused tiles for a refund.

Reclaimed Slate Flooring
Most of the old reclaimed slate in this area is from the Delabole quarry in Cornwall, however, there were other slate quarries around producing slate, but we find it is usually slightly different in colour.
The sizes of these slabs can vary enormously, up to the largest we have had at 8ft x 4ft. The thickness also varies from 1 inch to 3 inches. If you are renovating an old property this is the slate to use.

Slate Hearths
Slate hearths are a great way to ‘frame’ your fireplace, not only can they create both traditional and contemporary looks, but they are also essential to conform to HETAS/building regulations by protecting your flooring and surrounding materials from the fire. Slate hearths are incredibly tough and can handle the intense heat of a roaring fire, they are easy to keep clean with soapy water and a damp cloth and then once a year, reapply the stone oil sealer which will make the hearth look like new again!
We produce hearths from our stock of slate slabs, we have a large range of sizes which are listed in the section above. These slabs can be cut to various shapes, round, square, rectangle, T-shape, D-shape, quadrant, teardrop or cut to a specific template.
We can also produce slate slips, heatshields and mantlepieces from slate to complement the hearth. If you are looking for a new woodburner, gas or electric fire our sister business Tavistock Stoves and Fireplaces can help you out! They sell a large range of stoves and fires from their showroom in Tavistock. They have HETAS registered installers who can install the stove (they will also fit your hearth as part of the job!) Pop into the showroom or check out their website for more details!
Brazilian Slate Worktops & Sink Surrounds
Slate creates a beautiful, tactile & durable surface. Being a natural product, the subtle attractive colour variations gives character and style which is completely unique. We hand-craft every piece individually to your bespoke measurements & requirements. We can recommend a specialist who can template and fit the slate or you can have someone you know and trust to do the job, whichever you prefer. Come and see our Slate Worktop on display in our showroom, we would also be on hand to discuss and advise you on your project.
Slate Signs
We can supply you with bespoke slate house signs. The lettering/numbers are sandblasted into the slate and then painted in either white or grey colour. We can also drill holes in the slate for fixing.
Slate Roof Tiles
Reclaimed Roof Slates are subject to availability, we sell Rag Slate and sized Slate, but contact us for up to date details.
Slate Tables, Benches and Stools
Fed up with packing away your wooden patio furniture every autumn and then when you bring it out in the Spring having to stain it? Then why not buy Slate. It can be kept out all year round, will not require staining and will not blow away in the wind! We have several sizes of table to choose from, and you can have either slate or metal legs.
