Why Choose Brazilian Roofing Slate?
Below are reasons that make the slate a good choice:
- Aesthetics – The slates have an attractive look. While it is smoother than most, it does have a slight texture. The slates have heavily dressed edges and no visible pirate, these characteristics make for an aesthetically pleasing roof.
- Value – Brazilian roof slate can be a very cost effective way of having a slate roof, especially in the Grey Green colour. The slate undercuts most other slates on the market. It is inherently more brittle than a lot of other slates. However, when installed with care, this issue can be mitigated. We recommend that you should never walk on a slated roof but if this is something that cannot be avoided then we would highly recommend choosing an alternative option.
- Colour – Unlike other slates that have a single colour, this graphite green slate is available in two distinct colours; graphite grey and grey-green. Depending on your inclination, they both make a roof stand out.
Grey & Green Natural Brazilian Roofing Slate
The jury’s out on this one as to the true classification of Brazilian slate. However, there is a demand for this natural roofing slate. It is available in two distinct colours, graphite grey and greyed green slate.
We recommend that only the thicker 7/9mm thickness is considered due to its inherent brittleness. When laid with care, a very uniform appearance can be achieved.
This natural graphite slate product is very competitively priced, especially in the greyed-green colour.
Graphite Grey Slate
The graphite grey slate is a certified roofing slate, it is also available in green colour. There is a high demand for this natural slate due to its graphite grey and green colours. It will give an excellent finish if laid properly.
High-grade natural slate is strong and long-lasting. When installed correctly, it will outlast the building. This is because it doesn’t have weak minerals like graphite or carbon.
Graphite slate gives any roof a great look and is popular in Brazil and South America because of its grey colour.
There is a high demand for this graphite slate which can be supplied in different thicknesses and sizes. Please call 01200 427711 with any enquiries or email info@yateslate.co.uk.
