Source Slate With the Right Specifications
Source Slate With the Right Specifications
SlateBoss helps contractors, architects, builders, churches, and property owners source real roofing slate for new construction, restoration, repair, and lightweight applications.
MATERIAL OPTIONS
• Vermont and other North American natural roofing slate
• Imported roofing slate in black, gray, green, purple, red, and blended ranges
• New production and reclaimed repair slate
• Standard, graduated, random-width, patterned, and custom-cut layouts
• Traditional thicknesses, heavy slate, and lightweight real-slate systems
• Copper nails, hooks, snow-retention components, flashing metals, underlayments, and related accessories
WHAT TO PROVIDE FOR A QUOTE
Project location, roof plans or measurements, total squares, roof pitch, slate size and thickness, exposure and headlap, color or blend, quantity of hips/ridges/valleys, waste allowance, delivery constraints, and required schedule. For matching work, include photos and a loose sample whenever possible.
HOW MATERIALS ARE EVALUATED
Color alone is not enough. A proper selection also considers thickness range, surface texture, edge character, dimensional tolerance, weathering behavior, strength, absorption, test documentation when specified, and the installer’s layout plan.
NATIONWIDE LOGISTICS
Slate is heavy and must be packed, handled, and staged correctly. Freight planning should account for crate weights, unloading equipment, jobsite access, breakage allowance, phased delivery, and safe dry storage.
