Vega Slate: Natural Benefits From a Natural Beauty

By Dani Sheehan. 

See how slate is the natural choice for a well-proven and environmentally friendly roofing project. 

Looking for a roofing solution that is environmentally friendly, incredibly durable and won’t fade over time? Vega slate is the perfect natural option that homeowners and contractors alike will love. Unlike petroleum-based materials, slate is extracted from the ground without being transformed during production, so there is never a concern that volatile organic compounds will linger in the air. Its natural qualities also make it more durable than other roofing materials, lasting up to 100 years, and when it’s no longer needed for a roof, it can be recycled for other uses. 

Vega slate comes from the northwest region of Spain and it’s gray-black color is unfading so you can guarantee the color will be the same from the moment you choose the tile. It is also a perfect match with seca slate, and so can be used as replacement tiles on an existing roof if needed. An exclusive product to be natural®, Vega slate is produced from one source of origin and the quality control at the quarry ensures the selection is perfect before it even hits the collection.  

Aside from being completely natural, it’s also fire resistant, waterproof and resistant to dangerous pollutants in the atmosphere. Slates are non-combustible and will hold up against extreme temperature changes, making it the perfect roofing material for centuries. Long-lasting and low maintenance, slate provides a unique aesthetic with little to no hassle. 

Slate is an opaque rock that boasts toughness and beauty but is also readily split into thin, flat sheets, making it highly suitable for roofing tiles. Vega slate can come in a variety of thicknesses depending on the project. The thicker tiles will provide the system with a more textured and unique look, while the thinner slate provides a nice uniformity to match its homogenous, fine graining. A building material with a long history, a slate roof is the natural answer to a beautiful roof for life.
