Ligurian Slate Quarried in the heart of Val Fontanabuona, the valley historically recognised as the world's finest for its quality, Ligurian Slate is a material that combines natural beauty and durability. It has always been one of the symbols of Ligurian architectural identity. Roofing — the most traditional and identity-defining application: slate tiles have protected the roofs of Ligurian villages for generations, resisting rain, sea salt and thermal shocks. Facades and cladding — applied in regular-format slabs, it gives facades a contemporary material character. Indoor and outdoor flooring...

A thousand years of roofing tradition It is not just a roof with a sea view: it is a piece of Ligurian history. The use of slate as a building material spread through Val Fontanabuona as early as the 10th–11th century, reaching its peak in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance — from here slate reached Genoa, becoming a distinctive feature of the historic centre's architecture. "The triple-layer roofing, known as 'in abbadini alla genovese': each slate is two-thirds covered by the one in the next row, creating three overlapping layers of protection." In the traditional 57×57 cm or 57×40 cm format,...

Brazilian Slate Mad2Stone was among the first companies to introduce Brazilian Slate to the Italian market, selected from certified suppliers to guarantee consistent quality and continuity of supply. The decline in local slate extraction, due to increasingly strict quarrying regulations, has been offset by the use of Brazilian Slate, already used worldwide. Mad2Stone offers the region's largest ready-to-ship stock of CE-certified premium roofing slate. Deep tones — from intense black to silver-grey veining — make it particularly sought after for contemporary facades, pools and bathrooms with...

Processing available on request: custom edges (including the rounded "bullnose" profile), shaping, honed surfaces or a slate-effect finish for a contemporary material touch.

Not all stone processing is equal. While cladding, flooring and roofing require precision and experience, producing billiard slate takes processing to another level: every surface must be perfectly flat, with no imperfections, to ensure smooth, consistent ball roll. Since 1998 the company has been among the first to introduce robotic processing: a numerically controlled system creates straight and angled drilling, and pockets of any shape and size, with consistent precision and quality. In our workshop, each slate set is cut to the exact size, drilled to customer specifications with multi-head...
