North Country Slate on the Facade of a Modern Airport Bank

There are a couple of important observations to be made on this project; firstly, the smalll decorative, diagonally aligned, cornet pieces work marvelously well. They add interest and the intersecting lines created catch the attention.

Secondly, like most slate used indoors these tiles have been treated with a surface sealant that has enhanced the natural colours of the slate and resulted in a washable low sheen finish. This lowers maintenance costs by creating an easy to clean surface that looks great especially under specialty lighting or in naturally lit areas such as the verandah in the second photo..
