The
architectural versatility of slate, in combination with its
durable, low maintenance and fire-resistant qualities, makes
it a top quality roofing material of unmatched value.
Slate quarried for roofing stock is of dense, sound rock,
exceedingly tough and durable. It is practically non-absorptive,
absolutely fire and waterproof, resistant to climatic changes,
with absolutely no disintegration. Slate roofs have lasted
a century, giving a minimum cost per year, in contrast to
other types of manufactured roofing which must be re-roofed
three or four times within this period. Slate colors, sizes,
and texture afford many architectural effects, contributing
to the appearance and beauty of any building.
