Slate and Tiles in Wearne: A Timeless Choice for Roofing Excellence
At A1 Roofing Taunton, we understand the importance of using high-quality materials for roofing projects in Wearne and surrounding areas. Two of the most popular and enduring options are slate and tiles, which have been used for centuries in the UK. In this article, we will explore the benefits and characteristics of slate and tiles, highlighting why they remain a top choice for homeowners and builders alike.
Our Branches
Slate: A Natural and Durable Option
Slate is a natural, metamorphic rock that has been used for roofing since ancient times. Its unique properties make it an ideal choice for roofing in Wearne and beyond. Slate is:
- Extremely durable, with a lifespan of 50-100 years or more
- Resistant to weathering, including heavy rain, snow, and extreme temperatures
- Non-combustible, making it a safe choice for homes and buildings
- Available in various sizes, including 600x300mm, 600x400mm, and 800x400mm
Our slate products are sourced from reputable suppliers in the UK, ensuring that they meet the highest standards of quality. We offer a range of slate options, including: - Welsh slate: Known for its dark grey color and fine grain
- Spanish slate: Characterized by its dark grey to black color and medium grain
- Chinese slate: A more affordable option with a lighter grey color and coarser grain
Tiles are another popular choice for roofing in Wearne, offering a range of benefits and advantages. Our tile products are made from high-quality materials, including clay and concrete, and are available in various sizes, including 265x165mm and 300x225mm.
Tiles are a great option for those looking for a more affordable alternative to slate, while still offering excellent durability and weather resistance. They are also:
- Easy to install and maintain
- Available in a range of colors and styles, including plain, interlocking, and decorative tiles
- Suitable for a variety of roof pitches and designs
When it comes to installing slate or tiles, the lap (or overlap) is a critical factor to consider. A closed head lap, where the slates or tiles are overlapped by a minimum of 50mm, is generally recommended for roofs with a pitch of 20° or more. An open head lap, where the slates or tiles are overlapped by a minimum of 100mm, is typically used for roofs with a pitch of less than 20°.
At A1 Roofing Taunton, we are committed to providing the highest quality slate and tile products, as well as expert installation services. We follow best practices and guidelines set by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) and the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), ensuring that our work meets the highest standards.
