Fevi Stone is an Indian slate with a copper-brown to red-brown colouring and a lively riven structure. At ROSSITTIS it is used for wall cladding, floors, stairs and striking internal and external surfaces where a warm slate look with visible texture is wanted.

About Fevi Stone Schiefer
Fevi Stone is not a quiet background stone. The material lives from warm brown, rust, copper and red nuances, joined by a distinctly riven surface with a lively play of light. It is precisely this mixture that makes the stone interesting for wall cladding, treads, floor surfaces and design accents where natural stone is meant to read as tangible rather than slick. Compared with evenly dark slate, Fevi Stone reads as markedly more expressive and more colourful.
Geologically this is a phyllitic slate from India, that is, a finely bedded metamorphic rock with a clear cleavage structure. In the trade the material is nonetheless carried simply as slate, because it is precisely this property that determines fabrication and perception. The cleavage is an advantage in design terms, but at the same time it demands respect in the detail: edges, direction of run and the overall surface composition should be planned deliberately.
Technically, Fevi Stone is of interest above all as a wall and floor material with a natural surface. The structure provides grip and a very authentic look. At the same time the material remains more sensitive than granite or quartzite, particularly to strong acids and alkaline cleaners. For kitchen worktops, slate of this kind makes only limited sense; for walls, stairs, bathrooms and accented floor surfaces, on the other hand, it is often highly convincing. What is decisive is honest planning according to material character rather than to a wished-for image.
The finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down. A matt, textured finish is possible for particular design effects. At ROSSITTIS, Fevi Stone is available as a raw slab, in floor slabs, as wall cladding, tread and riser, window sill and for further made-to-measure components. Compared with black slate it is markedly warmer; compared with sandstone, more intense in colour and more layered.
The honest assessment: Fevi Stone is not a neutral universal stone. Anyone seeking absolute uniformity, minimal maintenance and maximum chemical resilience should reach for ceramic or a hard rock. But anyone who wants a warm, characterful slate with a distinctly natural surface gets exactly that here.

Finishes
Fevi Stone Schiefer is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.

Empfohlen für Außenbereiche, Pflasterflächen und Fassadenverklebungen mit Anspruch an präzise Maßhaltigkeit.
Spaltrau
Die Oberfläche entspricht einer natürlichen Spaltung des Gesteins — die schiefertypische schichtige Charakteristik tritt voll zur Geltung. Matte, raue Anmutung mit hoher Rutschsicherheit und ursprünglich naturhafter Wirkung. Empfohlen für Außenbereiche, Mauerverkleidungen und stark beanspruchte Pflasterflächen.
Care & fabrication
Fevi Stone should be sealed after installation, above all on floor surfaces, in bathrooms and in all horizontal applications. Slate of this kind is robust enough for many uses, but it reacts sensitively to aggressive chemicals.
For cleaning and care, use pH-neutral natural stone cleaners exclusively. Acidic cleaners, strongly alkaline products and cement-dissolving agents are unsuitable for this stone.
Avoid standing moisture, greasy residues and strongly abrasive cleaning equipment. The finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down.
For kitchens and bathrooms the rule is: remove water, oil, soap and colouring agents as promptly as possible. Not because the stone is fragile in the breakable sense, but because textured slate surfaces hold dirt more visibly.
Frequently asked questions
Is Fevi Stone suitable for the kitchen?
For splashbacks and wall surfaces yes; as a heavily used worktop only with caution. The stone is more acid-sensitive and needs more care than granite, quartzite or ceramic.
Which finish suits Fevi Stone best?
The finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block on this page.
Where does Fevi Stone come from?
Fevi Stone comes from India. It is a slaty metamorphic dimension stone with warm brown-red to copper tones.
How do I care for Fevi Stone correctly?
The stone should be sealed and maintained only with pH-neutral natural stone cleaners. Acids and strongly alkaline cleaners are to be avoided.
Is Fevi Stone a true slate?
In the trade, yes. Petrographically the material is described as a phyllitic slate, which explains the fine geological classification more precisely but changes nothing about its practical classification as slate.
