Improve the curb appeal of your property with this beautifully handcrafted slate plaque. Using a natural, riven-edged slate, this weather-resistant sign adds a uniquely elegant quality to the front of your home. Description Handcrafted in America at Gracie Oaks Studios, CA, we individually select every piece of slate and use state-of-the-art UV technology to imprint your design onto your plaque. This results in an incredibly high definition and weather-resistant finish which will endure all weather for years to come. This is a hand-cut piece of slate with natural flaws and irregularities. Due to the process of chipping the edges, the slate may be slightly irregular in shape and have incomplete corners. We love working with this natural material to produce a product that is unique and individual mounts great on doors, mailboxes, stone, brick, or wood. You can have holes drilled in the slate for mounting or hanging. (Template in photos). Hardware is included for all options. Consult a home improvement store for installation on your particular surface. The History Of Slate Slate is a very durable, fine-grained, metamorphic rock formed in the earth over 400 million ago. It has a very low absorption rate of water, which makes it perfect for outdoor conditions. Slate has two lines of breakability – cleavage and grain – which make it possible to split the stone into thin sheets. When broken, slate retains its natural appearance while remaining incredibly strong and durable. It is for these reasons that it has been so widely used in roofing, flooring, billiard tables, and blackboards. Slate is very user friendly giving you the durability and look of thick stone without being too bulky and heavy making it easy to hang or mount.
