Natural vs Synthetic Slate
- Natural Slate: Cut stone tiles with unique grain and color. Requires a roof structure that can support higher weight and careful flashing details.
- Synthetic Slate: Polymer or composite tiles that mimic slate while reducing weight. Often available with high wind and impact ratings and simpler maintenance.
