Slate is a natural stone that is precisely cut and split into thin layers so it can be used for roofing. It is composed of a fine-grained metamorphic rock that comes in slight variations of grey. Because it is a natural product, your choice of colors will be narrower than tile.
Slate comes from some of America’s finest quarries and has been used in roofing for centuries. One of its more appealing qualities is that no two slate tiles are alike. Its color variations will only enhance over time as the tiles weather.
Slate has practical qualities that make the cost well worth it:
Because tiles are fired from either concrete or clay, they can be custom-formed and produced in a wide array of designs and colors. So if your roof has a special feature, such as a skylight, clay tiles can be formed around them.
