If going green is your priority, the best choice for your roof is natural slate roofing. It is a 100 percent natural building material that requires nominal processing to be turned into roofing. It lasts longer than other ordinary roofs and, in addition, is very low maintenance, so not only is it a greener option, but it is also more hassle-free as well.

Here are a few ways slate roofing can be utilized in an environmentally-friendly way:

• Consider Reclaimed Slate – Slate is a natural stone that was often used on older roofs. Slate can be reclaimed from old roofs and reused on new ones. This can save you a lot of money compared to buying new slate, and it is also much more environmentally friendly because you are preventing the waste of natural materials and also the need for new mining.
• The Closer to Home, the Better – When you purchase a slate roof, it is better to choose a store that is near your home rather than located a long way away. Slate is heavy and can be expensive to transport – especially over long distances –  so this will save you a lot of money in labor and transportation costs.
• A Century Roof –Most roofing products are not manufactured to last more than 20 years. Slate roofs can stand five times longer than an ordinary roof. Over those 100 years, the slate will need minimal repair and maintenance, which will save you a lot of money. From an environmental viewpoint, that is five times less roofing material that might end up being thrown away in local landfills.
