It really isn’t Slate House being patriotic, Welsh slate is the toughest slate known to man, has very little impurities (Pyrites), doesn’t fade in the sun and has a unique grain structure and an even colour.

On all homeware products, we use special food-safe oil that enhances the natural colour of the slate, gives it a satin sheen and waterproofs the surface.

We use hand guillotines for the 6-8mm thick riven slate to create the casters, placemats, hanging hearts etc. And a large bridge cutter for the 20mm and 30mm thick slate for house signs and memorials.

Our slate products are treated with a food-safe slate sealer. This gives the slate a beautiful finish and also helps to resist staining.

Yes - when laser engraving slate, the laser melts the surface of the slate and crystallises a small section which then turns off white in the engraved area giving a very contrasting look against the dark background, although the laser beam cannot cut into the slate, therefore if the surface of the slate is scratched the engraving will be damaged.

At Slate House, we have three ways of personalising products. For the photograph engraving and general internal products such as cheese boards and hanging signs we use C02 laser engraving machines. For the house signs and memorials we use a high powered sandblaster to cut deep into the slate. In 2026, we purchased a flat bed UV printer, which can print full colour artwork dirrectly onto slate and granite.

We manafucture and engrave all products on site in our workshop in South Wales.
