Why Choose Slate for Your Melbourne Home?
Melbourne’s climate can be unpredictable, requiring materials that can handle both the winter chill and the summer heat. Slate is a natural metamorphic rock that offers several unique advantages:
Exceptional Durability: Slate is incredibly hard-wearing, making it perfect for high-traffic areas like entryways, kitchens, and living rooms.
Natural Temperature Regulation: Its thermal mass helps keep your home cooler in summer and retains warmth during the colder months.
Slip Resistance: The natural “riven” or textured surface of slate provides excellent grip, making it a safe choice for wet areas or outdoor patios.
Unique Aesthetic: No two tiles are identical. From the deep charcoals of South American Graphite to the earthy rust tones of Jakarana, slate offers a one-of-a-kind look for every project.
