Slate Worktops
Timeless and elegant natural slate worktops for your home.
At Winkleigh Timber, we think slate is a particularly handsome stone that has plenty of ideal characteristics for a worktop or counter. This versatile material is great for kitchens, sink areas, upstands or bathrooms.
If you are considering opting for solid slate worktops in your home, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with some of the qualities of slate that make it so suitable and will leave you confident in your investment.
Firstly, the hardness and durability of a natural slate worktop is second to none and means your kitchen or bathroom counter will stand the test of time. It will also cope well with extreme temperatures such as hot pans straight from the cooker. Also, slate is beautifully smooth and non-porous which makes it exceedingly easy to clean and means there is nothing for bacteria to cling to. Slate treatment is highly recommended prior to use and periodically to maintain the durability. Winkleigh Timber can offer a full range of Lithofin stone care products.
In terms of the aesthetic of your home, natural slate worktops generally have more subtle arrays of colour which means they suit many colour palettes and will work well in a traditional or contemporary setting. Slate is not only gorgeous and practical, but it is also generally more affordable than its granite counterpart.
Our team of experienced stonemasons can machine our natural slate to size on site at our Winkleigh base be it for countertops, fire hearths, dresser/table tops or bathroom units. Winkleigh Timber offer a personal templating and and installation service to locations across the South West.
