Brava Old World Composite Slate vs. Natural Slate Tile

Are you thinking about installing a slate roof? Do you currently have a slate roof that continuously needs repair, and are wondering if you should re-roof your home?

We understand that a natural slate roof is a real thing of beauty, but we also understand that slate tile requires lots of maintenance and repairs over the years. As time passes, mother nature slowly takes back the slate that was once quarried from her soil. Environmental elements cause natural slate to become brittle and flaky forcing homeowners to constantly replace and repair damaged areas or even their entire roof!

When searching for the best slate roofing alternatives, Brava Old World Composite Slate has everything you need. Wanting to compare natural slate tile vs synthetic slate is a great idea!
