  1. A History Of Natural Slate Roofing And A Rubber Roofing Alternative Love Your Roof

  2. Introduction If you love the aesthetics of slate, we’ve got you covered. Continue reading to learn more about the history of slate roofing, specifically its progression in North America and the development of an alternative product with the same aesthetic better-suited for Alberta.

  3. What Is Slate? Slate is a fine-grained, homogeneous material excavated from the ground. It is derived from shale sediment composed of clay and volcanic ash that underwent low-grade regional metamorphism. It is durable, dense, and known as ‘virtually nonabsorbent.’

  4. When & Where Was Slate First Quarried? The first-ever slate roof was a private home in North Wales around 1300 A.D. In the 1800s, the Spanish created a quarrying process that worked efficiently to produce enough slate for everyday homes

  5. Coming to North America It was not until the second half of the 19th century, slate became mass quarried. To this day, Vermont is a major producer of North American slate. It is special in its composition, primarily an S1 quality stone.

  6. Slate in Canada In Canada, slate roofing flourished in the second half of the 19th century. It was stimulated by railway and urban development projects as well as architectural fashion. This made slate quarrying cost-effective with more slate roofs continuing to appear between 1900 and 1930

  9. Conclusion Slate is known as one of the most durable and highest quality roofing materials with a long-lasting life compared to any other building material. Its malleable nature yet tough qualities enable it to be broken into thin, durable sheets.
