Roofing Available from Vermont Slate Sales, Inc.

The classic appearance of a slate roof is timeless. It enhances the character of any structure - new or old - and its look dramatically adds to the beauty of any building. The average slate roof will last more than 100 years. The life expectancy of an asphalt roof is approximately 20 years. Slate roofs have been in use in England for more than 1100 years.

Slate roofing is available from Vermont Slate Sales, Inc. in two different textures:

• Smooth Slate - composed of slate 3/16" to 1/4" thick of one uniform standard length and width or one length and random widths, laid to a line. Suitable for any building where a permanent roofing material is desired at a minimum cost. The texture of the slate is relatively smooth, natural surface.

• Rough Textured - has slates with varying thickness, usually 3/8" and whose natural cleft surface is rough in appearance.
