SLATE ROOFING
Slate roofing is a lost art. Slate and stone roofs are a significant feature of many historic buildings. To repair and conserve them successfully necessitates the use of appropriate traditional materials and techniques. A stone slate roof, providing it is well maintained, can last for at least a century and possibly much longer.
BENEFITS OF SLATE ROOFING
Variety
Slate roofing tiles come in different colours, textures, thickness, weathering and semi-weathering to satisfy any customized look. Main colour options include green, grey, charcoal, black, purple and red.
Longevity
Slate is something we like to call a ‘forever roof’ since homeowners will only need to put only one on in their lifetime, but a shingle roof may need to be replaced two or three times.
Increase the Value of Your Home
Another benefit of slate roofing is its ability to increase the resale value of your home due to its natural beauty and durability. Slate is recognized as an elegant roofing material and will enhance the architectural style of your home and maintain the same appearance over the years.
Protection Against the Elements
Slate is naturally fire and mold resistant. Its low water absorption makes it very resistant to frost damage and breakage due to freezing - extraordinarily helpful in a Canadian winter!
