🪨 Natural Slate Characteristics
Slate is a natural material, so each piece may have:
- Slight variations in texture and colour
- Uneven or chipped edges
- Natural markings or flecks
These are not faults but part of the unique character of the product.

To keep your slate clean and looking its best:
- Wipe with a damp cloth after use
- Dry immediately with a soft cloth
- Use mild soap if needed
