German And Chinese Roofing Products

With 2,300 years of tradition behind them dating back to the Romans, the German roofing services contractors have kept alive and perfected a unique style of slating that is incredible and beautiful. Chinese roofing slates have become a common sight in American and European roofing slate markets, as China continues to grow as a major producer and world supplier of roofing slates. Although Chinese slate is available in many colors ranging from black to red, yellow, green, gray, blue and purple, one of the most widely used and respected Chinese slates is a black variety, which can be very hard and can perform quite well under ASTM testing. As in all slate-producing areas of the world, a range of slate qualities can be found in China. Some of the slate quarried there has a record of longevity observable on the older buildings still standing there today. Other quarries are so new that no track record for their slate has yet been established. Quality control can also vary significantly from producer to producer.
