Types of Slate Roofs We Install
Natural
Natural slate is made from shale or clay, and is quarried from the ground. It has a natural, textured appearance with unique color variations. Natural slate roofs are one of the most durable roofing options available, lasting up to 100 years or more. They are also naturally insulating and can reduce your home’s energy costs.
Synthetic
Synthetic slate is a good choice for those who want the look of natural slate without the hefty price tag or added weight. Synthetic slate provides many of the same benefits as its natural counterpart, such as fire resistance and durability. The biggest downside is that they are not as environmentally friendly; some contain petroleum-based products in their manufacturing.
The Pros and Cons of Slate Roofing
When making your decision about the type of roofing you prefer, there will be pros and cons. It’s best to know what to expect.
Pros of Slate Roofing
- Beautiful: Slate roofs can provide an aesthetic and historical charm to many homes.
- Long-lasting: We’ve encountered slate roofs that have been around for over 100 years!
- Environmentally friendly: Natural slate is a sustainable material that doesn’t contribute much waste at the end of its lifespan
Cons of Slate Roofing
- Expensive: The biggest drawback of slate is its cost. It’s much more expensive than other types of roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles and wood shakes.
- Heavyweight: Slate is very heavy, so you may need to reinforce your roof structure in order to support the weight of the material. This can add to the cost and complexity of installation.
