What is the best slate for a pool table

Mondo Sports Updated on 2024-02-29

The best slate material for a billiard table is usually a high-quality bluestone slab, also known as slate. Bluestone slabs are highly regarded by the industry for their high hardness, high density, good elasticity, not easy to deform and high flatness. High-quality bluestone slabs can ensure that the speed of billiards is uniform and accurate when rolling on it, which is very important for professional-level billiards competitions and to ensure the fairness and competitiveness of billiards.

The thickness of the bluestone slab is also an important factor, generally speaking, the greater the thickness, the more stable the billiard table will be, and the more conducive to ensuring the trajectory of the ball. The thickness of bluestone slabs commonly found on the market is generally 1 inch (about 2.).54 cm), while for higher-level billiard tables, you may choose a thicker bluestone slab, such as a 5 cm thick slate, for better stability.

In addition, bluestone slabs are very demanding in the mining and processing process, and must be precisely polished and spliced to achieve near-perfect flatness and smoothness. Therefore, when purchasing a billiard table, we should not only pay attention to the material of the slate, but also examine its processing accuracy and installation process.
