VERMONT SLATE

A Vermont Slate roof is a thing of beauty. Vermont Slate is called "The Sheltering Stone" for good reason: It's strong, durable, fire resistant, water resistant and needs minimum maintenance. A Vermont Slate roof can last a century. Available in a variety of sizes, colors and textures, slate roofing offers many architectural effects. Any of them will contribute to the beauty and value of your building. Slate roofs accent homes, churches, libraries, government buildings and universities.

All of our Vermont Slate has been tested according to ASTM (American Society for Testing and Material) guidelines and has received the highest ranking.

Our Vermont Slate roofing tiles come in 11 different colors for you to choose from. Ask us about blending colors to create a stunning and unique roof for your building.

It's important to note that some colors are called "unfading" colors. While all natural slate products may change color over time, those classed as unfading will only change slightly.
