WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SLATE & TILE?
Slate is a durable material that has been used to cover roofs for over 700 years. It is available in three varieties, natural, artificial, and zinc. Slate offers a traditional and aesthetic roofing solution, suitable for all types of properties.
Roof tiles have been created with similar properties, making them hard-wearing and long-lasting. These are produced from either concrete or clay and are more suited to modern properties, as they are available in an array of styles and colours. Both are popular options, and there are plenty of reasons why:
Durability: slate roofs can last up to at least 150 years, and a tile roof can last up to between 50 and 70 years.
Value: Durability means that despite requiring a slightly larger initial investment, a slate or tile roof will prove greater value in the long term.
Appearance: Slate is mainly grey and available in various shades, textures, and patterns. Tile can come in a wide range of designs and colours.
