What makes roof slates an excellent choice for your building project?

Roof slate tiles are becoming increasingly popular due to the pleasing look that can be created. Due to the natural colour gradients and shades in the tiles, the overall effect can be quite breathtaking and looks great on many different building types. Slate tiles have been used on homes and other building types for centuries and so suit both contemporary and more historic buildings and because of the pleasing look that is created, as well as the durability and longevity of slate (a slate roof should last for over 100 years). Choosing slate roof tiles can add value to the property, and can actually be very cost effective as even though the initial outlay for materials may be costly because the roof lasts for such a long time it could work out less expensive than having to replace a roof made from cheaper, less durable tiles.

What exactly is slate?

Slate is a natural product formed from metamorphic rock, meaning it is created out of changes or ‘metamorphosis’ to existing rock types. It is super strong and will stand up against most weather types, including frost. Slate is also very fire-resistant, which means peace of mind for you and your family.
