To ensure an authentic slate appearance the Balmoral has a riven surface and
dressed edges which provide a detailed and textured appearance, whilst its proportions
are designed to take the form of a smaller thicker variety of slate formerly quarried
in Scotland. The slate colour of the Balmoral, as with any clay tile, comes from
the firing process and is permanent: it will not fade.
