Glendyne slate is dark grey in colour with tones of blue. It adds a touch of elegance and nobility to buildings and increases their beauty and market value.
Using natural slate for roofing purposes offers numerous advantages. This material requires no special maintenance and can last over 75 years if applied according to prescribed standards.
Slate is also resistant to weather conditions, freezing, and acid rain. Slate does not fade under the sun and ultraviolet rays. It is environment-friendly and safe because it is fireproof.
