Slate Roofing: A clean slate

The Old House Web

Roofing manufacturers have come up with a variety of synthetic slates in recent years, but for the purist, only the real thing will do. Happily, this North Carolina family-owned business supplies new roofing slate, as well as new and vintage roofing tiles. The slate can be cut with straight, hexagon or diamond edges. Subtle color and thickness variations add to the shadowy interest of a real slate roof. Slate can be smooth or rough finish. While one of the priciest roofing materials available, slate has a longer lifespan than you.
