Slate Ashlar

A seamless stone texture with slate arranged in a ashlar pattern. The image represents a physical area of 1796 x 1396 mm (70.7 x 55 inches) in total, with each individual block measuring approximately 600 x 200 mm. The joints are filled with mortar and are 5 mm (0.2 inches) in width.

Slate is a stone product widely adopted as a cladding material within architecture and construction. Slate is most commonly used as a roof shingle or tile, due to its durability, natural waterproofing, and flexibility when cut into individual shapes. Natural slate adopts a natural mid to dark earthy hue, and in addition to roofs, can be used in interior or exterior flooring, stairs, walkways, or wall facades.

This texture uses a random coursed ashlar pattern, where the height of each row and the width of each block varies. Coursed ashlar is found on many historical stone facades as well as in contemporary stonemasonry.

This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
