Spanish Slate

01

What is Spanish Slate?

Spanish slate is a natural roofing slate quarried mainly in northern Spain. It’s known for being consistent, dense and reliable, which is why it’s used all over the UK. Unlike Scottish slate, Cupa Pizarras comes in tidy, uniform sizes, so it gives roofs a clean, modern look. It suits both newer builds and older properties that need a neat, even finish.

Why Choose Spanish Slate?

Spanish slate is a solid, long-lasting material that handles wet, windy weather well. It doesn’t absorb much water so it copes with frost and constant rain without cracking or shifting. Because it’s so uniform, it gives the roof a tidy, smooth appearance that you don’t get with reclaimed slate.

Spanish quarries follow strict grading and quality checks, so you know you’re getting high quality slate. If you want a natural roof that looks clean, matches perfectly and lasts for decades, Spanish slate is the way to go.

Things to Consider

Cupa Pizarras is more expensive than concrete or clay tiles, but you get what you pay for in terms of life expectancy and premium quality. You don’t have the same level of maintenance with slate as you do with tile. It’s naturally resistant to moss and lichen meaning it stays cleaner for longer and there’s no need to interfere with the slates’ coating with cleaning and repairs.
