Slate veneer is a thin layer of slate stone that is often used to cover surfaces like walls, floors, or countertops for aesthetic and functional purposes. It provides the appearance of natural slate while being more lightweight and cost-effective than using solid slate slabs. Slate veneer can be used in interior and exterior applications and comes in various sizes and colors to suit different design preferences. It's commonly used in home and commercial renovations to achieve a rustic or contemporary look.
