Slate Roofing
Ideal for Hundred-Year-Old Homes in Montreal
Used on roofs for centuries, slate is a natural stone that adds prestige to buildings. Despite its high price, its lifespan is very long. In fact, a quality slate roof can last up to 150 years!
This elegant stone is non-porous and resistant to bad weather. In addition, it does not discolour under the sun. A slate roof can be considered an ecological choice, because slate is a recyclable stone that possesses insulating properties. Therefore, it contributes to reducing a home’s heating expenses.
Before Buying
You must consider a few points before choosing this type of roofing. First, the structure of your roof must be able to support the weight of the slate, along with the weight if ice and snow. The colour pallet for this natural stone is also limited.
