Arctic Green Slate - Characteristics 
This popular slate is of exceptional quality with varying shades of ocean green colours.
It is a dense stone suitable for all external & internal applications.
Surface sealing is suggested for internal and external food areas but may be left natural for all other applications.

Slate Flooring Tiles - Natural & Eco Friendly Building Material 
A measure of the environmental credentials of a building product is the involvement by man and process up to the point where it is fixed to a building.
On that basis this slate is a clear winner. This slate has a natural split surface which means it is split along natural cleavage lines and does not require expensive, energy demanding, processing machinery to saw it. However, It does mean the thickness of the material varies a bit - naturally!
Slate Colour & Texture Enhanced with Natural Split Surface
Slate splits naturally along planes reveals pallets of vivid colour not seen in stone with processed surfaces.
The topography of the surface is intricate and has character, depth and grain - as you will see in the image below.
Sealants Can Enhance Slate Colour
The slate in the image below has been moistened to demonstrate how some sealers enhance or slightly darken the slate colour.
Surface or topical sealants (eg Aqua Mix's Seal & Finish Low-Sheen or High Gloss Sealer) will result in either a low sheen or a gloss finish (see image on the top left) depending on the outcome desired and the sealant used.
An enhanced colour with a mat finish like the slate below can be achieved using Aqua Mix Enrich 'N' Seal which is a penetrating sealant.The display pieces below were photographed dry with no sealant.
