Brazilian Slate
??? offer a range of Brazilian roofing slate under the brand-name ‘Rio”. We have been importing Brazilian slate for over 20 years and are familiar with all the quality producers in Minas Gerais. We are confident that the range of Brazilian slate that we offer is the very best that Brazil has to offer In our experience with Brazilian roofing slates over the last 20 years, we recommend to only deal with the 5-7mm grade We offer Brazilian slate not only as a roofing material, but also as an architectural material in flooring, paving, work-top and slab applications There are a large number of Brazilian slates on offer in the market but it is crucial that prospective customers realize that a lot of this material is suitable for flooring tiles and not as a roofing slate. Our testing has revealed that this poorer slate can have a higher calcium carbonate content, high water absorption properties and many do not pass the old acid immersion test of the BS 680

Welsh Slate
Welsh Slate is regarded as the finest quality slate found anywhere in the world. The deposits here are unusually pure and have properties which make them extremely long lasting. The slate industry in North Wales goes back to the 2nd century, when the Romans used locally quarried heather slate (possibly from Penrhyn) to roof the fort at Segontium (modern Caernarfon) Slate has been quarried and used in Wales since this period and the industry reached its peak in the latter part of the 19th century with major quarry operations like Penrhyn, Dinworig, and the Ffestiniog quarries dominating the world’s slate production. The industry employed over 10,000 men at this time With the emergence of cheaper man-made roofing materials, the industry went into decline in the 20th century and many of the quarries were forced to close There has been a huge revival of Welsh Slate over the last 25 years and Penrhyn and Cwt-y-Bugail quarries are currently thriving and are the largest producer of natural roofing slate outside of Spain. These quarries trade under the name ‘Welsh Slate’ and employ over 200 people, selling their top end slates to discerning clients all over the world

Canadian Slate
The slate industry in Canada dates back to the 19th century when immigrants from Britain moved to Canada and began to discover slate deposits. The initial quarries were all centered around the Quebec area. The slate from this area tended to be black in colour and similar to the hard vined slate of Wales There were a number of slate quarries in the region including the Bedard quarry and the Melbourne quarry (also known as Walton Slate) Over time, many of these quarries closed down and the dominant player which remained was the New Rockland Quarry, which began in 1868 and ended up supplying 80% of the demand in the domestic Canadian market. The New Rockland quarry employed 150-300 workers in the late 1800s until its closure in 1924. In the middle of the 19th century, slate deposits in Newfoundland were discovered near to Trinity Bay. These slates were a purple colour and similar to the heather slates from North Wales – Penrhyn and Dinworig. The quarry in Newfoundland has been closed since the end of the 2000s, and the only remaining slate quarry operating in Canada is the Glendyne quarry in Quebec
