What slate grade should you choose?

Slate is available in several grades or thicknesses ranges. Since slate is hand split, there is always some thickness variation, so each slate grade covers a range of thickness. It is generally considered that the better the grade, the better the aesthetic appearance as the characteristics of the stone become more apparent. This makes your slate grade selection is nearly as important as the slate color you choose!
