Baton Rouge Slate Roofing
The Benefits of a Slate Roof
Slate roofs are a unique roofing option that is available in a variety of colors and materials. From being aesthetically pleasing to durable, slate roofs offer a lot of benefits in south Louisiana. Whether you are considering slate for a commercial or residential roof, here are some the advantages that slate can provide.
Longevity
Slate is known for its durability. Where a shingled roof may need to be replaced 2 to 3 times over the life of your home, a slate roof will rarely, if ever, need to be replaced or repaired.
Fire & Mold Resistant
Slate is naturally capable of resisting fire and mold. This characteristic enhances the protection of your home, as well as its ability to withstand Louisiana’s wet, humid climate.
Energy Efficient
Because Slate is dense, it is a very energy-efficient material. This means it keeps your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Slate is able to prevent hot and cold air from entering the home.
Enhance Resale Value
As an elegant architectural option, slate can quickly add to your home’s value. With natural beauty and minimal maintenance, you can add instant curb appeal.
