Why\u00a0Reclaimed Spanish Slate?<\/h2>\n

Natural Spanish slate has been used on commercial and industrial roofs for generations and has stood the test of time. With the unpredictable British weather Spanish roof slates have performed for hundreds of years dating back to the 1300s. A good quality product is known to last at least 70-80 years on a roof. Spanish slate can last the life of the building it serves if laid correctly.<\/p>\n

Alongside Welsh, Spanish slate is the most well-known variety on the market, with Spain the largest producer of the natural, metamorphic material in the world. Formed underground under intense heat and pressure. Split into smooth flat pieces to form roof tiles and cladding.<\/p>\n

Though this manufacturing process is consistent of all natural slate, the quality of the slate depends on a variety of factors. These include which quarry it comes from, thickness, strength and chemical make up.<\/p>\n

In the UK, an instant way of checking quality and reliability is to see if it the slate meets the latest British Standards, as all of the natural Spanish slate for sale at Roofinglines does.<\/p>\n

However, there is a number of other factors to consider when deciding\u00a0whether Spanish slate tiles are the right option for your new\u00a0roof or renewal over alternative roofing materials, such as plain tiles.<\/p>\n

This blog will delve a bit deeper into what\u00a0make slate so popular a roof covering. We will look at the advantages of opting for Spanish slate, along with the\u00a0drawbacks.<\/p>\n

Advantages of Natural Slate from Spain<\/h2>\n

Three quarters of the slate sold in the world originates from Spain. More and more homebuilders and architects are using it across different applications, including heritage properties. And for good reason too.<\/p>\n

The primary function of any roofing material is to guard the roof\u2019s structure from the effects of rainwater and other weather, in turn ensuring the internal building is protected.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, the reason natural slate is so suitable as a weathertight roofing material is because it has extremely low water absorption with an index of less than 0.4%. This is one of the main reasons it can last several hundred years, often with little or no maintenance. Natural slate has a\u00a0complete resistance to frost damage too.<\/p>\n

The dense nature of Spanish slate can regulate temperature better than plain tiles, so those living or working underneath the roof can go about their days in a more comfortable indoor climate.<\/p>\n

The practical advantages to using natural slate also include it being resistant to acid rain, UV light, fire and rotting. The added environmentally friendly benefit of being 100% recyclable and letting off zero toxic substances into the environment. Re-used natural slate take 3% of the total UK pitched roofing market.<\/p>\n

Functionality aside, a big draw for builders and architects lay in the aesthetic quality of slate. Many prefer the natural look of slate to other roofing materials, especially when installed on more traditional buildings. Slate found in various shades of black and grey. The natural Spanish slate at Roofinglines comes in a light grey tone.<\/p>\n

Disadvantages of Natural Spanish Slate<\/h2>\n

What can put some people off using Spanish roof slates is\u00a0its cost. Though cheaper than Welsh slate, Spanish slate tends to be more expensive than plain tiles or lightweight options, such as steel roofing.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its\u00a0natural formation, slate tends to be heavier than manmade roofing materials. This can slow down a roofing job as more time is spent manoeuvring the slate across the work site, as well as on the roads in transit.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, the weight of slate means homeowners need to be extremely mindful of the roof structure below. If not properly reinforced, it might not be able to hold the collective weight of the slate over a long period of time.<\/p>\n
