Long Rake Spar have introduced new Charcoal Black Slate chippings to provide an alternative colour choice for customers. This beautiful chipping looks charcoal grey when dry and almost black when wet. Drawing on the success of their established slate range of blue, plum and green chippings and rockery stone, Long Rake Spar are pleased to introduce this striking addition to the range which is available in both 20mm and 40mm chipping sizes, along with a Charcoal Slate Rockery Stone.
