The Process
Interested in how we create our slate roofs? Discover our process below:
- All slate tiles are hole punched or drilled to allow for nail placement.
- We find the roof’s centre point and mark a starting position.
- A starter strip is placed on the roof to prevent fall-off and provide a waterproof layer below the slate.
- We start to nail in the first course of slate roof tiles, and then using pre-made marks, determine where the next course will begin.
- We then stagger succeeding courses for protection.
