Natural roof slate is a traditional building material, with a
heritage that dates back to Roman times. It offers aesthetic
appeal and durability. Natural slate can become a major factor
in a building’s whole life costs, which is important since
environmental issues are moving to the forefront in all areas of
construction. A natural slate roof will last the lifetime of the
building, if laid correctly.
The other big plus to natural slate is that it is sustainable,
and can be salvaged and re-used. Natural slate, tested to BS EN
12326 Part I and meeting the highest relevant ratings will be
unaffected by normal extremes of temperature, and highly
resistant to acids, alkalis and other chemicals. Man-made
products on the other hand are more liable to discolouration by
acid rainfall and the growth of lichens although surface
coatings can delay this process.
Natural slate often respects the traditional roofs where it is
used and, as a natural product, features variations in colours,
sizes and textures. This is important in conservation areas,
where slate must match existing roofing materials on surrounding
buildings.
Our aim is to offer a full range and choice of natural slates
laid to a high standard. We can offer the most suitable product
for your project at a very competitive price. Please note, we
are not a supplier of slate we are a roof construction company
that provides it as part of a job.
Man Made Roofing Slate
The advances in the production of fibre cement slate now means
that a wider range of projects can benefit from a slate roof.
Fibre cement roofing slates come in a uniform size, thickness,
and shape eliminating the time needed to sort, hole and grade on
site, as well as offering added versatility when architects want
to use complex roof designs.
Fibre cement tiles are pre-drilled for quick and easy fixing
saving time on site. In addition, the slates can be cut and
mitred using simple hand tools. This adds to the ease of
installation, while the uniformity of the slate also reduces
waste.
Budget considerations may lead some to fibre cement slates,
since they are generally lower cost than natural slate. Although
natural slate may be favoured in conservation areas the improved
quality of fibre cement slates means that they can blend well
with historic surroundings when natural slate cannot be sourced
or is too expensive.
We provide a range of manmade roofing slate that is the most
comprehensive range of fibre cement slates available. Supreme O
Roofing can match colour, texture, or size of slate. Contact
Supreme O Roofing for a competitive quote for all of your
Slating requirements.
