  2. INTRODUCTION For decades, slate roofs have been out of fashion, but no more. Many bespoke builds for residential homes and commercial buildings across Australia are now using slate roofing in unusual and modern ways. After all, slate works in perfect harmony with other contemporary materials. But what are the properties that have contributed to the recent comeback of slate roofs?

  4. SLATE ROOFS ARE RESISTANT TO EXTREME CONDITIONS Most roofing materials, such as asphalt, burn or are susceptible to fire but slate roofing is an option that does not tap out against fire. With temperatures getting more extreme every year due to the worsening situation of climate, this is one reason for its increase in popularity. Moreover, not only are slate shingles resistant to fire, mould and frost but they also do not absorb moisture, which means they are the property all year round.
