SLATE vs. TILE ROOF INSTALLATIONS
We are an established company with a dedicated team who have many years of experience in the industry.
Most properties replace existing slate or tiles but you might consider changing from slate to tile or vice-versa and the main factors are outlined below. No matter the size or requirements of your project, we always use the very best materials and won’t be happy until you are 100% satisfied with the completed work.
Material
Slate: Made of natural stone that has been split into thin, flat, usually square shaped material. This is naturally a durable substance.
Tile: Tiles are made of clay or concrete. These are either fired in a kiln or made of a mixture of sand, cement and water. Again, these materials are also durable.
Appearance
Slate: There is a sense of elegance and a natural appearance, they come in a variety colours, although primarily grey is the most used.
Tile: There is a more varied range when it comes to appearances of tiles. Clay tiles offer a rustic, somewhat vintage colour where as concrete can come in any shape or colour.
Durability
Slate: The durability of slates offers a long life span meaning it can last for a century or even more. If properly maintained, it is resistant to rot and fire.
Tile: Tile roofing is also a durable option for your roof though its lifespan is somewhat shorter averaging between 50 and 100 years. It can however be more vulnerable to chips or cracking, especially in below-freezing climates.
Weight
Slate: Slates are a heavier choice to tiles so the buildings’ overall structure must be able to support the weight.
Tile: Due to the weight of tiles being low, it makes it a more fitting roofing option for a wide range of buildings.
Maintenance
Slate: Slates are low maintenance, they require very little to no maintenance making it an easy option due to with the longevity of their lifespan.
Tile: Tile roofs often need an inspection for any cracked, damaged, or dislodged/slipped tiles. These should be replaced before further repairs are needed.
Life span
Slate: Slate roofs can endure for over 100 years, with proper maintenance. Resistant to weather and fire, their durability makes them a long-lasting roofing option.
Tile: Tile roofs can last 50-100+ years, depending on material and maintenance. Regular inspections and repairs can extend their lifespan. Weather and care influence durability.
