Slate Roofing: A Natural and Durable Choice
Slate is a natural, metamorphic rock that has been used for centuries in roofing applications. It is prized for its durability, with some slate roofs lasting for over 100 years. Slate is also resistant to weathering, and can withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions. At A1 Roofing Taunton, we offer a range of slate products, including Welsh slate and Spanish slate, in various sizes and thicknesses, including 4-6mm, 6-8mm, and 8-10mm.
Tiles are a popular choice for roofing in Chard, and are available in a range of materials, including clay, concrete, and slate. Tiles are durable and long-lasting, with some roofs lasting for 50 years or more. They are also resistant to weathering, and can withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions. At A1 Roofing Taunton, we offer a range of tile products, including plain tiles, interlocking tiles, and pantiles, in various sizes and profiles.
When choosing between slate and tiles, there are several key considerations to keep in mind. These include:
- Quality: Look for high-quality slate or tiles that are resistant to weathering and durable.
- Quantity: Calculate the quantity of slate or tiles required for your roof, taking into account the size and complexity of the roof.
- Head lap: Ensure that the head lap (the overlap between adjacent slates or tiles) is sufficient to prevent water ingress.
- API: Consider the API (Aggregate Performance Index) of the slate or tiles, which measures their durability and resistance to weathering.
- Practice: Consider the installation practice, including the use of suitable fixings and flashing.
At A1 Roofing Taunton, we offer a range of closed and extra half lap tiles, which provide additional weather-tightness and durability. These tiles are ideal for roofs with complex designs or those that are exposed to extreme weather conditions.
