Few roofing options come close to the features that slate offers, which is why it is strongly recommended by homeowners who are in it for the long haul. As a roofing contractor that offers slate as one of its best-selling roofing materials, Dynamic Roofing Concepts Inc. shares with you the advantages of having a slate roof:
A typical asphalt shingle roof lasts 20 to 30 years, metal roofs more or less 50 years. Slate roofing outlasts these roofing systems, with a typical lifespan of about 100 years. Quarried slate, made of stone, is hard-wearing and can withstand anything that nature throws at it: wind, rain, fire, airborne debris, you name it. Slate roofs are heavier than most roofing materials, therefore it provides better protection for your home during storms.
You might be surprised to know that slate comes in many colors, from the typical gray-black shades to purples and reds. This gives you and your roofer a wide range of potential styles and exterior color palettes to choose from. And since these are natural colors, you don’t have to worry about whether the outer color will blister, peel or eventually get worn off. Slate roofing works well in both traditional and contemporary designs and is not beholden to any specific architectural style.
A durable and long-lasting roof like slate generates much less roofing waste in its lifetime, which usually comes from repairs or replacement. With less frequent roof replacements, less space is occupied at landfills. Its manufacturing process is likewise eco-friendly, as the slate is sourced from sustainable quarries across the country. No chemicals or fuel are used as slate is cut by hand.
Quality slate roofing is thick enough to bolster your attic insulation, which helps reduce your indoor heating and cooling requirements. This results in lower energy consumption – especially during summer and winter – leading to substantial energy savings.
