Slate Roofing: The Friendly Choice for the Environment

The roof plays a large part in your home’s overall appeal. That’s why many homeowners desire slate roofing. Slate can make your home look sophisticated and distinctive. For hundreds of years, it has given homes a timeless, classic appearance. Above all, it is also friendly to the environment.

Slate is a natural material, so very little pollution goes into the making of slate shingles. Its longevity also helps the environment since it doesn’t need replacement every 15 to 20 years. Traditional asphalt roof shingles account for a vast amount of construction waste. By choosing slate for your next roof replacement, you’re avoiding this threat to our planet.

Natural Beauty

Slate has an unmatched natural beauty. It is available in a variety of natural slate colors and textures. You can choose black, red, green, gray, purple, or a multicolored approach. It improves the appearance of any architectural style. An added feature is that the shingles are hand-shaped, so they can be custom-made to fit your specific wants and needs.

Low Maintenance

A slate roof will need far less maintenance than traditional roofs. It is a natural stone, so it far surpasses the durability of any other shingle options. It is waterproof, non-combustible and very resistant to fluctuations in outdoor temperature. Because of this, a slate roof is almost maintenance-free and needs less roof repair over the long run.

Longevity

Slate is the best when it comes to longevity. A slate roof can last for well over 100 years, making it the most durable roofing type available. This a great feature for homeowners who never intend to sell their home. It also will increase the resale value for those who do.
