Natural Slate Roofing from Premier Slate

Natural slate

Natural slate is internationally recognised as one of the finest building materials available, displaying a unique fingerprint that reflects the power and presence of the landscape from which it was hewn. In recent decades new sources of roofing slate have come into production from all over the world. Welsh slate, however, remains the benchmark with a reputation for aesthetic beauty and technical performance which is second to none. Over 500 million years in the making and formed by the natural processes of mother earth, Welsh slate is the roofing material reserved for the most noble and prestigious buildings.
