Choosing a roofing material for your upcoming project is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make during the entire process. Perhaps you’ve already started your research, or maybe you haven’t thought about it yet at all. At Clay & Slate, we understand the importance of this decision. Slate tiles are a timeless option and are recognised for their durability and sustainability. Beyond its practical role, a slate roof can also be a well-designed and aesthetically pleasing part of your home, adding character and improving kerb appeal. Take a look at some of the reasons slate is such a popular choice for roof tiles:

Slate is incredibly strong, which means fewer replacements and less waste over time. It’s also naturally resistant to mould, mildew and insect damage. Not worrying about water damage or mildew buildup can save you from many traditional maintenance costs associated with lower-quality material. Lasting between 50 and 100 years, a slate roof is an investment that stands the test of time!

Slate is a resource that occurs naturally and its production has minimal impact on the environment, making slate tiles a top choice for eco-conscious homeowners. Not only this, but once it has served its time on your roof, slate can be recycled, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

With excellent thermal properties, slate is a sensible choice to help you regulate the temperature of your home. Providing natural insulation, it keeps your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, which can contribute significant energy savings.

Finally, it is hard to overlook the aesthetic appeal of this roof tile. Many homeowners choose slate simply for its appearance. Eye-catching from every angle, a slate roof will enhance kerb appeal and can add to the overall value of your property.
