I’m thinking of replacing my slate roof. What material is the better one to use: domestic slate or imported slate?
February 29, 2024A friend of mine told me that historic slate roofs are natural and are very friendly to our environment. Is that true?
February 29, 2024Unlike other roofing options, slate roofing requires a specific installation process. If not installed correctly, it can compromise the longevity of your slate roof and lead to expensive problems later on. Slates need to be handled carefully, and inexperienced roofers may make mistakes such as leaving gaps between slates, “face-nailing” (leaving fasteners exposed to snow and rain), nailing slates too tightly, using the wrong size and variety of slates, or using an inconsistent layout or slate distribution. We’ve even found slates installed upside down!
