For centuries slate has been used as a distinctive roofing-material. Once only available to the very wealthy, it is now an affordable option for almost any homeowner. Here are just a few of the reasons to consider slate tiles for your roof:
- Aesthetics – No other roofing-material can match the look of slate. It simply radiates elegance and is a perfect match for almost every house style.
- Durability –Slate tiles are made of stone. As such, they are extremely durable and last from year to year. Some slate roofs have lasted – in good condition, no less – for a century and a half.
- Versatility – Slate tiles are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors. You are no longer limited to the dark grays of the past.
- Safety – Slate is naturally fire-proof and can absorb the worst punishment from the elements with little or no ill effect. This simple fact keeps you and your home safe and sound through the worst storms.
