Why Choose Schist for Your Construction Needs?


Schist, a type of metamorphic rock, is a popular construction material found in abundance in New Zealand's South Island.


One of the distinctive features of schist is the layers of minerals that give it a unique appearance. It is a robust and durable material that can be easily split, making it a practical and attractive option for construction projects.


Schist also blends beautifully with other building materials, particularly wood, adding an element of natural beauty and warmth to any structure.


Whether you're looking to create a feature wall, a fireplace surround, or an entire home exterior, schist is a versatile material that can be adapted to a wide range of applications.
