Ah, slate roofs \u2014 they stand the test of time, while adding beauty and value to your home.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With slate roofs lasting over 100 years (if properly installed and maintained, of course), this material can certainly compliment\u00a0 an older home filled with rich history.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re tired of the same old roofing options, then slate will be the perfect choice. Still not sold on the idea? Take a glance at some of the many benefits of this timeless roofing material:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Variety is key, no matter what avenue you\u2019re dealing with.<\/strong> Luckily, slate<\/g> is available in a range of sizes, thicknesses, and colors. You\u2019ll be able to pick the roofing<\/a> tiles that work best for your particular home, so you can best complement other details of the exterior.<\/li>
  2. They stand the test of time.<\/strong> Consider this: most roofs last 20 years before they\u2019re in need of replacement. Slate, on the other hand, can last over a century \u2014 which makes it one of the best investments a homeowner could ever make!<\/li>
  3. They\u2019re virtually indestructible.<\/strong> Did you know, unlike other materials, slate tiles are totally fire resistant? Should a neighboring home catch fire or a stray spark from a firework were to hit your roof, you\u2019ll be in the clear.<\/li>
  4. They\u2019re environmentally friendly.<\/strong> Fact: other roofing materials need replacement every 20 or so years, which leads to landfill waste. As you’ve read above, slate can last significantly longer, a wise choice if you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint. Further, you may choose synthetic slate roof shingles which are made of 100% recycled rubber and plastic \u2014 win!\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
