Natural Slate Roofing

European slate has been used in Australia since the early 19th century. In 1840, slate was discovered in South Australia and was soon exported to Victoria and NSW, where it was also later discovered. Welsh Penrhyn slate arrived in Sydney almost 200 years ago and has since been widely accepted as a superior roofing material in NSW and across Australia, mostly due to its suitability to Australia’s hot and dry weather.

Welsh slate, which has been used for centuries around the world, is renowned for its durability and quality. It is well known that Welsh slate roofs last over 100 years, long after the roof timbers supporting them have failed. Slate is waterproof and unaffected by normal extremes of temperature. This combination of quality and aesthetics makes Welsh slate roofing a sought-after roofing material for heritage and prestigious projects in Sydney and throughout NSW.
