Slate Roofing: A Natural Choice
Slate is a natural, metamorphic rock that has been used for roofing purposes since ancient times. It is prized for its durability, fire resistance, and attractive appearance. Slate roofing is available in various sizes, including 500mm x 250mm, 600mm x 300mm, and 700mm x 350mm. The thickness of slate can vary from 4mm to 8mm, depending on the quality and intended use.
Tiles, on the other hand, are a more affordable and versatile roofing option. They are available in a wide range of materials, including clay, concrete, and metal. Tiles are often used for pitched roofs and can be laid in various patterns, including closed, lap, and head lap. The size of tiles can vary from 265mm x 165mm to 420mm x 330mm, depending on the manufacturer and type.
