Yes, this 20mm slate hearth is designed for heavy or wood-burning stoves and fireplaces.

• Heat Resistance: These calibrated slabs are engineered to withstand the weight and heat of a log burner. Not suitable for direct flame.
• Dimensions: 1200 x 380 x 20 mm + 900 x 450 x 20mm (+/- 1mm)
• Book-Matched: Yes — both sections have been cut from the same slab to ensure a consistent visual appearance and uniformity across both sections.
• Weight: 48 kg per slab (1-2-person lift)
• Surface Finish: Subtle Natural Riven surface
• Edge Finish: Front section dressed sides and edges / rear section sides all sawn
• Colour Profile: Raw state Graphite grey / Black with natural variation in colour and tone. After sealing, expect a much deeper and darker tone.
• Applications: Ideal for living rooms and dining rooms

This slate has been rigorously tested to ensure it meets the highest safety and durability standards:

• Slip Resistance: PTV 62 (Dry) / PTV 49 (Wet) – Rated as Low Slip Risk
• Flexural Strength: 19.6 MPa (48 Freeze-Thaw Cycles)
• Water Absorption: Less than 0.50% (High Frost Resistance)

We offer two distinct grades for this natural stone. Both share identical structural integrity and test results, but differ in visual selection:

• Standard Grade: Celebrates the raw character of natural stone with visible variations in texture, tone, and pattern.
• Premium Grade: Hand-selected for aesthetic harmony; manually sorted to ensure a homogeneous appearance with a consistent colour tone across the surface.

Guaranteed Level Surface — The Credit Card Test:

Regardless of grade, every slab must pass our internal surface tolerance test: a standard credit card must slide smoothly across the riven surface without catching or snagging on sharp ridges.

Tailored stone solutions for a perfect hearth installation.

Our in-house fabrication team based in Milton Keynes provides professional tailoring for our entire range of Brazilian Slate and Limestone slabs. We offer three service tiers:

1. Professional Laser-Guided Cutting: We provide precise laser-guided straight-line cutting to match your dimensions.

• Shapes: Squares, rectangles, and pentagons.
• T-Shape: We can supply 2pc T-Shape solutions—significantly easier to handle and reducing the risk of the stone cracking during transit and installation.

2. Deep Clean & Seal Service: Bring out the true character and depth of your natural stone.

• Process: Each slab is deep-cleaned and washed to remove quarry dust and reveal its natural riven character.
• The Finish: We apply two coats of Stovax Dressing Oil. For Brazilian Slate, this transforms the raw graphite-grey profile into a deeper, darker, and more luxurious tone.

3. The "Signature Bundle" Package (Best Value): Our most popular choice for a professional, high-end fireplace finish. This package includes everything in the cutting and sealing services, plus:

• Dressed Edges: We manually ease the edges and hone the sides of your stone (a process we call "dressing").
• The Look: This creates a smooth, chamfered edge that offers a truly wonderful, high-quality aesthetic for modern and traditional homes, representing exceptional value with edge-dressing included at no additional cost.
