Where can I use Slate?

tgorse | February 13, 2010

Slate can be used anywhere because of its textured finish, however,
countertops might be questionable because of the uneven surface.
Slate is a popular flooring material because it offers slip
resistance. Some slates are dense enough to be used for exterior
applications.
