Many people may not have heard of slate dining tables and chairs! In fact, slate is a kind of shallow metamorphic rock. Because of its compact structure, high hardness and good water permeability, slate is often made into tabletops for outdoor dining tables and chairs. Let's delve deeper into the characteristics of outdoor dining tables and chairs on slate tabletops.

First of all, let's focus on introducing slate as a material! As mentioned above, slate is essentially a kind of shallow metamorphic rock, which is a rock material formed by slightly metamorphism of intermediate acid tuffaceous rock or silty sedimentary rock, sedimentary tuff and clay. Its characteristics are tight particle structure, high hardness, good wear resistance, low permeability of water, and slate is not as prone to cracking as ordinary rocks. It is precisely because of these characteristics that it is used as a tabletop for dining tables.

characteristic:

1. The tabletops made of slate are rich in color and diverse in texture, and because they are all naturally formed without any traces of artificial carving, the color and texture of slate dining tables and chairs are extremely vivid, rich in changes and not rigid. There are almost no two completely identical slates in the world, so each slate dining table and chair can be considered unique.

2. Slate is our general name for a kind of metamorphic rock. In fact, the composition of slate itself is different. The color change of slate dining table surface is caused by its different components. Iron containing slate appears red, while carbon containing slate appears black. Generally speaking, we name slate based on its color, such as black slate, green slate, etc.

3. Slate is different from ordinary recrystallized rocks in that it presents a plate-like structure. Therefore, although dining tables and chairs made of slate have a tight structure and high hardness and wear resistance, if they are peeled off along the texture of the slate, it is still easy to peel off thin slices of slate. Therefore, the side of the outdoor dining table and chair table top is generally treated.

4. As an outdoor dining table and chair, just having a desktop is not enough, and there must also be a table frame. The table frame of the slate dining table also needs to have good anti-corrosion and waterproof properties, and also needs to have good load-bearing performance. At present, the cast aluminum table frame is used to match slate tabletops in the market.

5. Finally, let's introduce a disadvantage of slate outdoor dining tables and chairs! That is easy to fade, especially when the slate tabletop is corroded by water for a long time, its appearance is prone to aging. For this, it is important to pay special attention when using slate outdoor dining tables and chairs.
