How to keep slate relevant

What are some ways to keep slate a thriving part of the roofing industry? John Stortz & Son  have a few ideas, what are yours?

Slate has been used as a roofing material for centuries and continues to be valued for its durability, longevity, and aesthetic appeal

Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft towel or air dry. Slate tile flooring, like most other natural stones, requires sealing to aid in water repellency and prevent discoloration and scratches, and sealer should be used on a regular basis.

Education and Awareness: Increase education and awareness about the benefits and value of slate roofing among consumers, architects, and builders. This can be done through workshops, seminars, publications, and online resources that highlight the durability, beauty, and sustainability of slate.

Product Innovation: Encourage innovation in the slate roofing industry to meet the changing needs of customers. This can include developing new types of slate tiles, improving installation techniques, and exploring environmentally friendly practices.
