WHY CHOOSE A SLATE ROOF?
Roofs built with beautiful, long-lasting slate have survived for hundreds of years. With a life span of 75 to 200 years, slate is inherently fire-resistant and low-maintenance. Slate installation, on the other hand, necessitates the knowledge of a seasoned Melbourne slate roofing contractor like Classic Slate Roofing. For over 30 years, we’ve been installing, maintaining, and repairing slate roofs with great success. Our slate roofing specialists are true craftsmen with the knowledge and experience to create a one-of-a-kind and long-lasting roof for you.
Natural slate roofing – the world’s most prominent roofing material – installed with expertise by expert contractors may add value to your house in Melbourne and around Australia. Slate tiles are durable and ideal for Australia’s harsh climate. Modern designers, architects, and builders like them because of their environmentally friendly properties, such as:
- Energy efficiency
- Fade resistance
- Durability in all weather conditions, including fire, hail, and snow
- Have a 75+ year lifespan, sometimes a lot more
Advantages Of A Slate Roof
- Superior service life
- High resistance to storm damage and fire
- Impermeable to water, moss and algae growth
- Excellent insulating properties
- Resists chipping, cracking and erosion
- Environmentally friendly
- Available in a wide array of colors
Maintaining A Slate Roof
In the same way as slate roof installation necessitates specialized expertise, slate roof care, repair, and restoration have their own set of requirements. Slate can be cracked by expanding ice and other weather extremes and metal flashing can loosen and wear. That’s why it’s crucial to inspect and maintain your slate roof at least once every three years. Classic Slate Roofing has the knowledge and experience to keep your slate roof looking good and performing well, oh, and we won’t rip you off!
Repairing A Slate Roof
Can A Slate Roof Repaired?
Broken or missing slate tiles are easy to spot and fix, but determining whether the slate is at the end of its service life requires a thorough inspection by a roofing inspector who is familiar with slate roofing. When 20 to 30 percent of the slates on a roof need to be repaired, it’s a sign it’s time to replace them.
What Is The Life Expectancy Of A Slate Roof?
Hard slate will last anywhere from 75 to 200 years, while soft slate will last only 50 to 125 years,” he said, adding that as a result, a homeowner trying to decide whether to repair, restore or replace a slate roof should first determine whether the existing slate is hard or soft.
Is A Slate Roof Worth It?
Slate tiles, unlike many other roofing materials, are fully fireproof. Another reason slate roofs are worthwhile is their weather resistance. They are both waterproof and weather resistant, making them ideal for chilly climates. High winds, heavy snow, and rain are no match for slate roofs.
