Where are the quarries located?

CUPA PIZARRAS quarries are located In the north of Spain, in the Galicia and Castile and León provinces.

Spanish slate from the Orense area was formed from muds laid down over 450 million years ago and was metamorphosed 300 – 350 million years ago.

Natural slate is extracted from both quarries and mines, being surface quarries the most common and traditional way of producing natural slate. Once the overburden is removed, the slate is sawn in large flat slabs that are then carefully cut into smaller natural slate blocks, and transported to a transformation factory. Blocks are then hand split by skilled craftsmen into roofing slates of the desired thickness. All slates then undergo final inspection, with each producer having its own selection and quality criteria.

What is Spanish slate?

Spanish slate is a foliated, metamorphic rock created from fine-grained sediments over the course of millions of years. It Is mainly composed of quartz, sericite and minerals of the chlorite group. Unlike UK slate where you find a greater variety of colours, Spanish slate is usually black or grey.

Slate has a long tradition as a construction product. Its strength and outstanding resilience make it one of the most durable and versatile materials mainly used for roofing and cladding.

Today, most slate used in the UK has a Spanish origin and is used for high-end projects, historical buildings, traditional pitched-roof housing and sustainable architecture.

What are Slate Grades?

Once the process of crafting the slate at the quarry is complete, each piece is assessed along with different technical and aesthetic guidelines in order to be classified into the following two selections for you to choose from;

R Excellence

These are slates of great flatness, very regular thickness and the result of an extraordinarily rigorous classification process. Used in projects where a uniform look is sought, these slates are chosen worldwide by architects and installers to achieve the perfect roof.

H Selection

Having the same strength and durability as the R Excellence, the H is a high-quality natural roof slate that permits slight variations in thickness and flatness. These slates often are chosen by experienced installers who are able to work the slate on the roof and guarantee a uniform finish.

Why Spanish slates?

Recognised worldwide for its performance, Spanish slates stand out for their high quality and superb aesthetic finish.

Spain is the world’s first slate producer. The biggest reserves of tectonic natural slate in the world are found in the north of the country.
