Also, due to its mineral makeup, it has an extremely flat surface. While much harder, Brazilian slate is also gaining a fan base, as it is more durable, will endure years of heavy use and is virtually impossible to bend or break.
Italian slate is usually softer and therefore easier to work with. In particular, slate from the Liguarian region of Italy is traditionally considered the highest quality material for use in pool tables, and will typically be marked ‘OIS’, meaning Original Italian Slate. Slate is available in areas all over the globe, however Brazil, China, India, and Italy have become known as major slate exporters. Because it is so durable and known to last, many manufacturers will provide a lifetime warranty for a slate pool table. Wood, as well as table tops made from synthetics, can warp quite easily. While heavier and more expensive than wood, slate ensures that the play surface remans smooth and level. It is ideal for pool tables because it naturally splits into wide, level pieces, and can be easily ground and polished into a perfectly flat surface. Slate is a solid rock made of many minerals including quartz, clay and mica with a fine grain. Slate was the material that met all of these criteria, and is still used in superior tables today. He sought out a different type of material that could be used to make pool tables, one that offered a smooth playing surface, yet was inexpensive and easy to find, and one that would not warp due to moisture or absorption.
A man named John Thurston became frustrated with the tendency of wooden pool tables to warp, rendering them difficult to play on.
