SLATE

Slate has long set the standard for roofing materials. It is renowned for its durability. Slate roofs many centuries old and in still good condition exist in the British Isles, European countries, and eastern United States.

The subtle shades and sheen of natural rock make slate the most beautiful of roofing materials. In fact, because slate is natural rock, no two pieces of slate are exactly the same; slight differences in color, texture, and thickness occur in each piece. These variations, together with different tile shapes, create roofs that enhance any architectural style.

Slate is inflammable and impervious to moisture. It is the most environmentally-friendly building material. A slate roof requires minimal maintenance and provides superior insulation.
