Slate Roofing

Choosing a Shingle Type

Before you decide whether slate roofing is the right choice for your home, there are a few stylistic options to consider. While slate, by nature, tends to limit color/style options, choosing a color and style you’re sure of will help you make the most of slate’s 80-100 year performance.

There are three main styles of slate roofing you need to know about:

Textural Slate Roof

With a similar look to a classic slate roof, textural slate has a natural and rough appearance. This adds depth and a textured finish allowing for a more interesting style that is sure to enhance the visual quality of your roof.

Standard Slate Roof

Standard slate shingles are essentially the opposite of a textural slate style. They are flat, uniform, and smooth. Standard slate shingles offer a more modern and clean look compared to the rugged, rough style of a textural slate roof.

Multicolored (Blended) Slate Roof

Multicolored slate roofs mix shades of gray, green, black, and purple to form an eye-catching style. This type of slate roof offers a unique visual appeal without compromising the organic, natural look slate roofing is known for.
