Black Slate, Chocolate Slate, Jack Black Slate, Indian Autumn, Kund Multicolor, Ocean Green, Copper Slate, Silver Shine, Deoli Green, Terra Red, N Green, Pure Pink, and Himachal White, among others. Slate is one of the few natural stones where such a wide color range is genuinely common, since deposits vary significantly by region.

Applications

Flooring, roofing, wall cladding, pool copings and surrounds, patios, mosaics, window sills, hearths, and crazy paving. Slate’s natural split surface gives it strong slip resistance, which is why it shows up as often around pools and in wet areas as it does on interior floors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between natural cleft and calibrated slate?
Natural cleft slate has both faces in their raw, split texture and varies slightly in thickness piece to piece. Calibrated slate has the top left natural for appearance while the back is machine-ground flat, giving a consistent thickness that’s easier to install evenly.
Is slate suitable for outdoor and wet areas?
Yes, its naturally textured surface provides good slip resistance, making it a common choice for pool surrounds, patios, and outdoor flooring in addition to interior use.
Why does slate come in so many different colors?
Slate color depends heavily on the mineral content of the deposit it’s quarried from, and since we source across both North and South Indian belts, the color range available is wider than what a single-region supplier can typically offer.
Is color variation normal between slate tiles?
Yes, minor tonal variation between pieces is a natural characteristic of slate rather than a defect, and is generally within accepted tolerance for the material.
Does Arpran Industries export slate internationally?
Yes, we export slate slabs and tiles to buyers across the UAE, Australia, Europe, USA, and African markets, managing container loading, logistics, and documentation directly.
