What is a Slate Roof?
A slate roof is a roof made from slate, a type of metamorphic rock which is highly durable, making it very suitable for roofing. It is most common to see slate roofs in regions where slate is naturally abundant, although slate shingles can also be shipped to other regions of the world. Like other types of roofing, slate has both advantages and disadvantages which should be considered before installing or repairing a slate roof.
