Natural slate has some exceptional properties which make it ideal to use in cladding scenarios. It is versatile, non-combustible, and able to endure harsh weather conditions such as intense winds, heavy rainfall, and freeze-thaw cycles.
Slate cladding is a particularly popular choice for various design features, including dormer windows and gable walls.
