Natural slate roofs in the UK are renowned for their durability, often lasting over 100-150 years, and are commonly used in heritage and modern projects alike. Welsh slate (blue-grey/purple) is top-tier, while Spanish slate is common for new builds. They offer fire/weather resistance, requiring little maintenance.
