Highly Durable Slate roofs can last for many decades when looked after
properly. It is a naturally strong material and absorbs very little water which
means it is less susceptible to leaking and frost damage.
In addition to this, slate requires very little maintenance.
Energy Efficient A highly efficient material, slate can keep your home cooler
in the summer and warmer in the winter. Its density prevents hot air from
entering your attic in summer and warm air from escaping your home in winter.
This means you will save money on your bills.
Fire Resistant Slate is able to withstand higher temperatures which makes
it a perfect choice for roofing. As a natural stone product which forms when
layers of rock are exposed to extreme heat and pressure, slate is fire
resistant.
In the event of a fire, the chances of your roof catching
alight is reduced.
Environmentally Friendly As it is a naturally occurring material, slate is highly
sustainable. It has a lifespan of over 100 years which means it is the most
resistant roofing material. Moreover, it can be easily recycled at the end of
its life.
Aesthetically Pleasing Slate comes in a range of colours and sizes, so there is
plenty of variety to choose from. Whether you opt for a more traditional style
or choose to make a statement, you will always achieve an elegant finish.
It is a highly popular choice of roofing material for
traditional buildings and historical restorations. However, you can also
achieve outstanding results on modern builds.
