There has been a long tradition of natural slate roofs in Ireland from the middle ages, but particularly from the 1700's onwards. The leading Irish roofing slates were grey/green KILLALOES, quarried near Portroe, Nenagh, Co Tipperary. Our Roofing Centre located in the old Killoran Quarry, which was one of the smaller Killaloe quarries, today recycles Secondhand slates and old concrete tiles.

You can seriously increase the life span of your roof by choosing best quality Cupa natural roof slates. Looking at the foregoing example you will see that going from 30 year Fibre cement to 100 year Cupa natural slates will only DOUBLE the price of the slate content but will more than TREBLE the life expectancy of the roof.  The hidden benefit is that your Cupa slate roof will still have its beautiful colour even after 50 years whereas the paint coat on Fibre-cement has gone after 20 years and it will have been re-slated before it is 50 years.
