A slate roof is a natural stone extracted from the earth and cut into shingles. It is a roofing option that deserves more attention than what it is getting. This is mainly because people are not aware of what it can do and its value.
One of the top benefits of slate roofs is their long lifespan. With proper care, a slate roofing system can last for over 100 years. That’s significantly longer than most of today’s popular roofing options. The thicker the slate roof is, the more resistant it is to damage. Its long life is also what makes slate roofing a sustainable option. Roofs that last longer don’t have as much impact on the environment.
Slate roofs are simply breathtaking, a reason why many homeowners and businesses choose them. They can provide a classic appeal and elegance to almost any structure. This material is also available in a wide range of colors and sizes.
As a resilient material, slate roofing offers extreme resistance to damage caused by the elements. Slate tiles are 100% fireproof, making them one of today’s safest roofing materials. Because they also have a low absorption rate, there’s a very slim chance that they will freeze during winter.
