Valentia Slate
EXCULSIVE UK SUPPLIER - BESPOKE AND MADE TO ORDER
A Distinctive Irish Slate. Exclusively Supplied in the UK by LLD Slate.
Valentia Slate Memorials
Valentia Slate is a beautiful natural slate quarried on Valentia Island, County Kerry, Ireland. With its distinctive light grey colour, soft heather undertones and natural texture, it offers a unique alternative to traditional Welsh slate.
As the UK's exclusive supplier of Valentia Slate memorials, LLD Slate carefully crafts each memorial in our workshop in North Wales, creating a beautiful and lasting tribute to someone special.
Why Choose Valentia Slate?
Valentia Slate has a character all of its own.
Its subtle colouring and natural texture create a refined, understated appearance, while its durability makes it a beautiful and enduring choice for a memorial.
As part of our Celtic Range, Valentia Slate sits alongside our Welsh slate memorials, bringing its own distinctive Irish character to a bespoke memorial.
One of the defining features of Valentia Slate is its natural colouring. The light grey base can contain subtle heather tones and variations, giving each piece its own individual appearance. The texture, markings and colour variations found in natural slate are part of what makes it special. No two pieces are exactly alike.
Made for Memorials
Valentia Slate has been quarried on Valentia Island since 1816 and has a long association with memorials and architectural use.
Personalised Inscriptions
Words That Keep Their Memory Close
Choosing the words for a memorial can be one of the most difficult and personal parts of the process. An inscription can be simple and traditional or it can include words that capture something special about the person you are remembering.
From their name and dates to a favourite saying, a personal message or a few words that reflect their life, we can help you create an inscription that feels meaningful to you and your family.
We can guide you through the choice of lettering style, layout and placement, taking the time to make sure everything feels right before your memorial is crafted.
We're here to help.
