Скачать или смотреть The Benefits of a Slate Roof

A slate roof can make any home look like a storybook cottage! So full of soft hues and visual depth - they really add a great presence to any home.

One question I get a lot as a realtor is whether you need to be concerned about the cost of maintenance for a slate roof? Most roofing materials these days are made from fiberglass-based asphalt shingles, which are typically replaced every 20 to 30 years. A slate roof can last for upwards of 100 years—-you will need to repair it at times, but you definitely get your money's worth in terms of replacement

Slate can be either uniform with just a variation of shapes and colors, or it can be installed with patterns using different colored slate, such as blues, reds and greens.

Many homes in the 1870s incorporated this type of roof material, especially homes that had mansard roofs which were very common in second empire and Italianate houses.

And what exactly are those little metal brackets that are sticking up on a slate roof? Those are called snow brackets and they prevent large amounts of snow from sliding off in one big chunk!
