Natural Slate Paving

Welsh Slate have supplied slate from three of their North Wales quarries to give Caernarfon’s “Y Maes” (welsh for square) a facelift.

Sitting at the heart of Caernarfon’s historic centre, the square is not only a main thoroughfare for shoppers, it is the backdrop to the town’s picturesque medieval castle, which draws thousands of tourists to Caernarfon every year.

Natural Welsh slate paving meets all the relevant performance standards without any special surface treatment.  It is a naturally durable surface that not only looks good but stays looking good and doesn’t deteriorate over time.

All Welsh Slate paving products are independently tested and the determination of slip resistance is measured according to the industry standard pendulum test BS EN 14231:2003, achieving a value well in excess of 36, i.e. low slip potential.
