The Benefits of Slate
Slate is a natural, metamorphic rock that has been used for roofing for centuries. Its durability, water resistance, and attractive appearance make it an ideal choice for roofing in New England. Slate is available in various sizes, including 600mm x 300mm, 600mm x 400mm, and 600mm x 500mm, making it suitable for a range of roofing projects.
Slate roofing is a popular choice in the UK, particularly in areas with high rainfall. Its closed, dense structure makes it highly resistant to water penetration, ensuring a watertight seal. Slate is also a low-maintenance option, requiring minimal upkeep to ensure its longevity.
At A1 Roofing Taunton, we offer a range of high-quality slate products, including Welsh slate, Spanish slate, and Brazilian slate. Our slates are carefully selected to ensure they meet the highest standards of quality, giving our customers peace of mind.
We have been offering slate roofing services to homeowners and builders in New England since the 1970s. Our experienced team has a deep understanding of the benefits and challenges of slate roofing, ensuring that every project is completed to the highest standard.
