Not only does slate form a lovely roof, but it’s also a sturdy material that can be moulded into a variety of designs. Slate roofs are resistant to fire. Slate tiles, unlike many other roofing materials, are fully fireproof. Slate roofs can endure strong winds, a lot of snow, and a lot of rain. Slate roofs provide a sense of class to every building project, from new construction to garages and additions. Slate roofs, as opposed to flat roofs, offer a building a more solid, high-quality appearance and can make a building more architecturally harmonious.
