Standard and premium selections are available in the natural riven range and only apply to these sizes :
900 x 900
1000 x 1000
1200 x 900
1500 x 900
It's important to note that honed and brushed slate are only available in the Standard option. This is because the processing for these finishes requires a greater selection of slabs to choose from that have a heavier riven surface and wider variation in colour and tone. These characteristics become the features that really make honed and brushed slate stand out
