Are you considering a new slate roof? This blog has already covered the benefits of slate roofing.<\/a> As well as the benefits to replacing your roof.<\/a> But what should you look at when making the decision whether to use slate roofing vs traditional tile?<\/p>\n

The first thing you should look at is the quality of the roofing slate. Natural slate roofing \u00a0comes in three levels of quality. These levels are S1, S2, and S3. The highest quality naturally provides the longest life term before it starts to deteriorate. \u00a0These quality levels are defined by ASTM International, a 3RD<\/sup> party company that takes slate through tests. \u00a0In Rhode Island, and especially New England, you want to make sure your roofer contractor is using S1 slate. This will last the longest and protect your house against the harsh New England winters.<\/p>\n
