Slate’s the way to go

By The Coffee Shops®. 

Why many homeowners and contractors consider natural slate roofs to be the gold standard when it comes to building the optimal home.  

When it comes to beautiful aesthetics and reliable durability, few traditional roofing materials come close to what natural slate can offer. Long-lasting and timeless, many slate roofs can prevail for more than a century, protecting the home and property beneath for generations, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a premium roofing solution that hits every mark, whether that be weather, moisture or temperature resistance.  

Natural slate tiles come from slate stone, a material that has been formed by nature over millions of years. This material, because of its composition and nature, offers a look and feel that synthetic, modern materials don’t come close to replicating. Due to its organic composition, slate roofing tiles are durable, resistant to water absorption and harsh weather. 

With a low water absorption rate and durability in particular, many homeowners living in areas with snow, ice, heavy rain or hail can easily opt for slate roofing without worrying about damage. Even homeowners in Florida can find themselves the proud owners of a slate roof! 

Because of this and the historical role slate roofs have played across the globe, many historic buildings and luxury homes opt for slate tiles in their upkeep. It’s well trusted, and again, timeless in a way that few other materials still used today can boast. While the upfront cost of slate roofs might be higher than other materials, slate has been proven to be cost-effective over time thanks to its exceptional lifespan. While other materials need replacing more frequently, and fail more often, slate stands firm.
