Kerthen Walling

Kerthen Cornish Slate Walling; A great traditional rustic slate walling quarried in the Delable region of North Cornwall. This popular walling stone has many names including; 'Cornish Slate', 'Cornish Shale', 'Delabole Slate' and 'Cornish Killas'. Fonte Rustic Kerthen Salte was once considered a waste material from the slate mines in Cornwall and has been used since the Medieval Times in the construction of homes, churches, field hedging walls etc because of its horizontal strength and flatness of shape. This stone has a pretty tonal variation form iron browns, reds to aqua blue greys and weathers beautifully allowing moss and small plants to grow between the joints.
