For centuries slate was the roofing material of choice for chateaux and cathedrals. Today, slate remains the standard not only for universities and churches, state houses and corporate headquarters, but also for fine traditional and contemporary homes.

Durability
|
High-grade natural slate is one of the most durable, fire-resistant roof coverings known, commonly lasting over 100 years. The oldest slate roof is on a Saxon chapel dating to the 9th century.

Available in many colors, sizes and shapes, with its cleft surface and chipped edges, natural slate's textural interest and hand-crafted character are without peer.

Value
|
A high-grade slate roof is a permanent enhancement, not a recurring expense. It adds value and represents an asset transfer to one's heirs. Lesser roofs will be purchased and applied at tomorrow's prices 2, 3 or 4 times before a slate roof's service life has ended.
