Midnight Slate Setts
Midnight slate is a superb choice for anyone who needs hard-wearing natural stone for their block paving. This slate has dark blue highlights with natural black undertones which create a sleek and elegant tone to any project. They have a riven surface for an aged, traditional look and feel that is common to slate. Slate has the benefit of being better resistant to water damage, and will endure extremes of weather all year round.
Sett Characteristics
These setts are riven which means they have been hewn to create ridges along the surface. They have been cut to 100 x 100 mm with a depth of 18-30mm. Sawn edges allow for a more uniform laying pattern. Slate is a natural stone which means that each sett benefits from unique patterns and colours. They are among the most durable of natural stones, and can withstand heavy footfall.
Paths and Decorative Paving
The natural beauty of slate is that it holds its colour well and undergoes very little deterioration with use. This makes them excellent for garden paths and garden features that require durable decorative setts. The dark blues and blacks of these setts make them a great choice for elements that call for high contrast block paving.
Borders and Edging
These setts would be ideal in applications that require distinctive framing and zoning. Borders and edges are frequently created using contrasting colours, and the black slate would work well to frame light coloured stone blocks.
Low porosity
As a metamorphic rock, slate has exceptionally low porosity, hence why it is often used for roof tiles. As flooring, it means that it is not as prone to weather damage as some other natural stone and requires very little maintenance.
Installation Notes
These sandstone setts should be laid on a full bed of mortar (5:1 cement mix) and we recommend either priming slurry or an SBR additive are used to aid bonding. The mortar bed (laying course) should be 50 mm in depth and should sit on a 100 mm sub-base (150 mm for driveways) of compacted MOT Type-1 hardcore. Pointing can be done with mortar, but we recommend using a expoxy based jointing compound (such as Pointfix) as this will be quicker, easier and offer better performance and longevity.
