Genuine Slate Roofing  

The natural beauty of slate enhances the quality, image, value and safe usage in residential and commercial projects and is an excellent product for outdoor living styles. Roofing slate is available in standard and rough texture in a wide range of colors. The variety of material, plus the ability to machine to an even thickness, will fit almost any project requirements.

Slate is chiefly comprised of Quartz and Illite, with Mica, Calcite, and minor quantities of other various minerals. Slates vary in color, most commonly seen in black, gray, red, purple, or green. The red color is due to the presence of Hematite, while green colors are due to Chlorite. Grey and black are due to Carbon and/or Graphite. Shades of red, purple and tan are related to varying amounts of Iron Oxides.
