About Our Products

Solite is slate that has been expanded by the rotary kiln method. It begins as raw slate in the quarry, which is mined and crushed to an ideal size for "burning".

As the slate becomes Solite, it is nearly plastic and red hot. At this point, when the rock tumbles out of the kiln, it is called Klinker. The Klinker is allowed to cool, before it is crushed to the various gradations available for sale.

We use Buckingham County slate to produce our crushed slate products. The blue/gray slate is particularly popular as a decorative landscape accent. Smaller gradations are typically used as a building material, but may also be selected as a landscape material to suite your preference.
