Multi-functional Slate

And for the roofing, slate is one of the most aesthetically pleasing and durable of all roofing materials and has been used as such for centuries. Varieties that are properly rated for roofing require relatively little maintenance when properly installed and will last 60 to 125 years or longer depending on the type of slate, roof configuration, and its geographical location. Some slates have been found to have endured for over 200 years. The value and beauty that such an investment imparts to the home is indisputable.

Although this naturally suitable stone was altered from its genesis by natural forces over time to get to its present state, one thing that will certainly not change is the consistent ability of slate to transform any building, interior or landscaping into a truly remarkable and highly durable work of art.
