slate Roofs

Your roof is one of the most important aspects of your home. It protects you from the elements and keeps your family safe and dry. Slate roofs are the most durable and longest-lasting roofing option available. They are also low maintenance and fire, hail, and wind resistant, making them the perfect choice for your home.

Slate roofs are arguably the most attractive, elegant, and rugged roofing systems you can get for your home.

slate roofing types

Slate is one of the oldest roofing materials and remains a popular roof replacement option today. There are three types of slate roofs that Up Top Roofing is happy to share with you so we can provide you with the best roof and roofing knowledge while making your roofing decision. If you have any questions or would like a free quote call us today!

natural slate

Natural quarried slate is what comes to most people’s minds when talking about slate roofs. Natural slate has an exceptionally long lifespan. With proper care and maintenance, a slate roof can last over 100 years. It handles thermal expansion and contraction well and is impervious to damage caused by ultraviolet rays.

fiber cement slate

Fiber cement slate is fast becoming a popular alternative to natural slate, thanks to its more attractive upfront cost. It is also much lighter than natural slate and can be installed on existing roof decks without additional reinforcement. It must be noted that fiber cement siding has about half the expected lifespan of natural slate, but is still longer than other options such as asphalt shingles.

bituminous slate

Bituminous slate is closer in composition to common roofing shingles. Both have similar expected life spans, maintenance requirements and installation processes. The main difference is in the outer layer; whereas asphalt shingles have a rough, sandpaper-like feel, bituminous slate has a relatively smoother surface like natural slate. Unlike other slate options, bituminous slate is flexible and can be installed over eyebrow windows and domed roofs.
