Slate sills from the Delabole Quarry are aesthetically appealing and complement any architectural design. The appearance is enhanced by attractive naturally occurring markings.

No more rotting window sills! Delabole Slate sills will last for generations without delamination or detrimental colour change. Examples of sills fitted to buildings centuries ago abound throughout the Westcountry.

No more painting, treating or cleaning! Delabole Slate sills are virtually maintenance free. The relatively smooth sawn finish gives little encouragement to the development of organic growth.

The natural colour of Delabole Slate is predominantly blue/grey, with attractive natural markings. In time, sills may weather to a slightly more mellow shade. No treatment is necessary but various surface coatings can be applied to either darken the slate, or enhance any natural markings if required. This may be especially suited to internal sills but it is a matter of personal taste.

Frame Sawn Finish - An unpolished slab. Although there may be some surface saw markings the finish is relatively smooth, and is usually regarded as eminently suitable for external sills.
Honed (Fine Rubbed Finish) - A matt polished slab. Fine Rubbed on the surface to a smooth finish, like an eggshell to the touch. Polishing will remove saw marks as well as slightly darkening the slate, providing a more sophisticated appearance. This finish is normally recommended for internal sills.
