slate roof
Mineral tile covering
A slate roof is a roof covered with flat pieces of slate—a fine-grained rock that splits naturally into thin, durable sheets.
Slate roofs are prized for longevity and appearance, lasting a century or more on historic and high-end buildings: The old farmhouse still had its original slate roof.
