slate tiles

Flat rock covering

Slate tiles are flat pieces of slate cut for use as roofing or flooring material.

Slate's natural tendency to split into thin, durable layers makes it ideal for this purpose.

Slate tiles have covered roofs for centuries and remain popular for their longevity and distinctive appearance: The old farmhouse still had its original slate tiles.
