Slate and Tiles in Stone: A Timeless Choice for Your Roof
At Webster Roofcare Limited, we understand the importance of selecting the right roofing material for your home or building. Two popular options that have stood the test of time are slate and tiles in stone. In this article, we will explore the benefits and characteristics of these materials, with a focus on slate.
Slate is a metamorphic rock that has been used for centuries as a roofing material. It is prized for its durability, water resistance, and attractive appearance. Welsh slate, in particular, is renowned for its high quality and is often used for roofing projects.
One of the most popular types of slate is the half round slate. This type of slate is cut to a uniform size and shape, making it ideal for roofing projects. Half round slates are available in a range of sizes, from 400mm to 600mm in length, and 250mm to 350mm in width.
The price of slate can vary depending on the quality and source of the material. Reclaimed slate, which is salvaged from old buildings, can be a cost-effective option. However, it may require more sorting and grading to ensure that it meets the required standards. New slate, on the other hand, is supplied in uniform sizes and grades, making it easier to work with.
At Webster Roofcare Limited, we supply high-quality slate that is sorted and graded to ensure that it meets the required standards. Our slate is sourced from reputable suppliers and is available in a range of sizes and grades.
Street Credibility
Slate roofing has a reputation for being one of the most durable and long-lasting roofing materials available. It is not uncommon for slate roofs to last for 50 years or more, making it a popular choice for homeowners and builders.
Wastage and Project Planning
When planning a roofing project, it is essential to consider the potential for wastage. Slate is a natural material, and some wastage is inevitable. However, with careful planning and measurement, we can minimize wastage and ensure that your project is completed on time and within budget.
