Slate Roofing Specialists – There are a variety of options within slate roofing and sometimes the difference between these options can seem confusing. From cost and durability to how many tiles will be required and how easy they are to install.

Similar to clay tiles, natural slate roofing offers a truly unique and authentic look that cannot be replicated by manufacturers. For period projects, or homes that need to reflect the natural environment around them, natural slate roofing is usually the preferred choice of roofing. Its lifespan goes beyond both clay and concrete by some distance and has even been known to outlast the structure of the very buildings they have been placed upon.

In terms of performance, natural slate roofing does not deteriorate over time, which is reflected in how long it will protect the roof structure of your home.

Another great benefit of natural slate roofing is its low maintenance, which means very little ongoing effort will be needed to keep them in good working order for a very long time.

Clay roof tiles still remains as popular as ever, adding a beautiful finishing touch on roof for any home, whether commercial or residential.  Clay tiles have been used for roof covering for many years, with early remnants of their use found as far back as 3000 BC.

Clay roof tiles are continued to be used today because they are quite remarkable and aside from the strong protection they provide, one of the primary reasons they remain so popular is because of their aesthetic appeal.

Clay tiles are the preferred choice of roof covering. They also add a naturalistic appeal to historic and more traditional properties in South Africa.

The terracotta colour is most commonly associated with clay tiles, although they also come in other shades including white, brown and orange.

In terms of design and shape, clay roof tiles offers great flexibility and manufacturers are able to supply clay tiles to meet almost any requirement.

From low to high pitch roofs they can incorporate a range of different styles to emulate other variants of tile to match existing materials and designs.

Fascias are boards that run horizontally at the bottom of the eaves of the house. They cover the gap at the end of the last rafter so that water cannot get inside.

Every home with clay tiles or slate roofing tiles need fascia boards, traditionally they were made from wood and painted white or other colours.

For installation, fascia board is fixed to the roof trusses which supports the last row of roof tiles. The guttering is then attached to the fascia board.
