Slate is, with good reason, the most clasic roofing surface.  It has a miniscule water absorbtion index, meaning that it will not absorb more than 0.5% water.  This water resistance makes it very resistant to frost damage and freeze thaw damages that would be taxing on other roof surfaces.

 Slate Roofing is ususally fixed to the roof with nails or more commonly using the hooking method.  Hook fixing makes it possible to cut down the weight of the total slate eliminating the need to reinforce the roof.  

Slate roofing can be expected to last up to 100 years after our proper installation assuming there are no damages after installation.  Even if damages do occur we can repair them, ensuring that a damaged roof slate does not turn into a much larger problem.
