Full of history and character, our natural slate tiles can be used to create beautiful and practical feature roofs. Quarried from England, Wales, Spain, Brazil and China the slate was created 400-500 million years ago. Slate is formed from sediments laid down approximately 700 million years ago and was metamorphosed 500 million years ago, while Spanish slate from the Orense area was formed from mud laid down over 450 million years ago and was metamorphosed 300 – 350 million years ago. Depending on the area it is quarried from, the age fluctuates but it's definitely millions of years!

There are several advantages to using natural slate as a roofing material:
Durability: Natural slate is extremely durable and can last for more than a century with little to no maintenance.
Beauty: Natural slate has a beautiful, natural appearance that can enhance the look of any building.
Environmentally friendly: Natural roof slate production and quarrying does not involve the high level of energy usage that man-made roofing materials require. The fact that much of the waste product from splitting and shaping slates can be collected and repurposed makes natural slate and far more environmentally friendly roofing material. As it is so durable often slates can be re-used or recycled at the end of its life on a roof.
Fire resistant: Slate is non-combustible, making it a safe choice for roofing material.
