Slate Roof Tiles- Marley Eternit Thrutone (Product Review)

At Avant-Garde Construction, we are not only masters at building extensions, we are also experienced roofers.
This can be seen on one of our current projects which consisted of replacing the old roof structure with brand new rafters at the front and full-length dormer to the back.
The old roof had plain roof tiles that can be suited to both modern and historical appearances and withstand the harsh UK elements well. They are therefore a popular choice for performance and aesthetics in most cases.
With this build though, our clients wanted to replace the old tiles with ones that were sleek and modern whilst retaining durability and performance. Our recommendation was a slate tile for these exact reasons – Modern – Durability – Performance.
