Slate Roofs in Atlanta

KTM Roofing: Master Slate Roof Specialists in Atlanta

Some of Atlanta’s finest homes have slate roofs. Slate is a very durable roofing material offering a natural look. Slate roofs can be laid out in a variety of patterns to create a look unique to your home.

What Is Slate Roofing, and Where Does Slate Come From?

A great roofing material, slate is a fine-grained sedimentary rock derived from clay or volcanic ash. Slate is made of natural stone quarried from the Northeast United States, Canada, Virginia, Wales, Spain, China, South Africa, and other parts of the world.

For over 150 years Buckingham County Virginia has been the location where some most famous slate is quarried. Known as “Buckingham-Virginia slate,” KTM’s master roofers are often called upon for the installation of this slate on metro Atlanta homes. Buckingham-Virginia slate is renowned because it has a reputation for not showing signs of fading or decay and is a favorite of architects because of its assurance the building will receive a lifetime of roof protection while enhancing the building’s beauty.

Benefits of Slate Roofing:

  • Water repellent
  • Fireproof
  • Highly resistant to wind and hail
  • Extremely durable and long-lasting (up to 75 years)

Benefits of Synthetic Slate Roofing:
