Stylish slate
Slate is one of the oldest and most beautiful styles of roof available. Installed by a professional slater, these roofs exude lavishness and historic refinement. Usually fixed with nails or hooks, in the UK the fixing is typically double nails into timber battens, or sarking boards in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The benefits of slate include an extremely low water absorption rate of less than 0.4%. This means they are practically waterproof, and do not require extra processing before use. Lasting several hundred years, natural slate is both elegant and timeless. Choose this roof if you want your home to evoke a sense of luxury and class.
