An increasingly popular roofing material among upscale homes, slate tiles can be expensive but offer a very natural look that can be laid out in a variety of patterns. Slate tiles are typically cut by hand, making them fully custom and giving your roof a unique character all its own. If you live in Northern Virginia and are interested in adding a slate roof to your home, whether as part of a custom home building project or just an upgrade to your existing roof, contact R.M. Banning today!
Benefits of Slate Roofing
Among the most durable materials available, slate roofing does not burn and has a lifespan of well over 100 years. The natural stone is waterproof and easily resists storm and wind damage, and any tiles that break can be easily replaced piecemeal. Slate roofing is available in a wide array of natural colors, including grey-green, Vermont grey-black, Strata grey, variegated purple, red slate and more. A few of these colors will weather slightly over time, producing a beautiful brownish color that adds sharp contrasts to make your roof look unique – without damaging the integrity of the slate. Colors can even be combined if you want your roof to truly be a work of art!
Suggested color combinations include:
70% Semi-Weathering Green & Gray
