Used in the past in laboratory desks for its high resistance to acids, the Slate thanks to the new development techniques is nowadays a material whose special characteristics put as a perfect alternative to the traditional worktops made of other materials as for example wood or stainless steel. 

Its warm and silky feeling as well as its high resistance to the impact of a possible falling object, is beginning to make it more and more the centre of attention in business places and avant-garde restaurants which use it for their worktops as well as for their walls and paving coatings.
