Judging imported slate
- Grade: quality varies widely between quarries, so ask for test data
- Thickness and flatness: affect the look and the install
- Inclusions: some slates contain minerals that can rust-stain; better grades minimize them
Spanish vs. domestic
Spanish slate gives a uniform, contemporary dark roof. Domestic Vermont and Pennsylvania slate offer more color and a historic look. We source from established importers such as North Country Slate.
