As a natural material, Slate's warranty comes from nature and has inherent flaws and fractures that make it unique.
You can select from our Sensa, Naturamia, and Granith stone collections of branded natural materials if you prefer marble with a warranty. Our manufacturer's warranties for natural stone worktops range from 2 to 15 years.
Slate countertops are porous and require sealing every 1-2 years to maintain their integrity and prevent staining. Use a natural stone cleaner, a sealant, and a soft cloth for cleaning and preserving slate countertops.
Slate worktops offer limited colour options and more brittleness than granite, a generally dull appearance due to their naturally dark colour palette, and fewer design choices than materials like marble.
Can you put hot things on the slate?
Slate is a fantastic insulator and is highly heatproof and fireproof, withstanding hot items on worktops easily. However, using a hot pad when placing hot pans on slate worktops is essential to prevent the surface from becoming too hot to control.
