At the hands of an expert, slate roofing can look stunning. It’s beauty is not just its appearance or its permanence, or its customized, one-of-a-kind, look. The beauty of slate is its low maintenance and insulating factors. It resists mold, mildew, algae, and fungus. Heat stays out in summer and in for winter due to slate’s excellent insulation.
Solatube is a solar lighting technology that uses a roof mounted dome, reflective tubing and a diffuser to deliver enhanced natural light to indoor spaces. It can often be installed in areas where skylights are impractical.
It’s important to remember that a slate roof won’t receive the same type of damage after a house fire as other types of roofing shingles. That said, you may want to call us in after a fire so that we can ensure the supports under your slate are still in good condition.

Asphalt shingles come in two standard types: architectural and three-tab construction. Architectural shingles have a dimensional quality to them due to an additional layer of asphalt that is applied to improve its waterproofing characteristics.
Because Solatube is self-contained, and the ingress points are properly sealed and flashed, there is no loss of heat or air-conditioning when the system is running. In fact, because of the roof fan venting system, your HVAC system will run more efficiently.
A small problem in your roof can become significant if it isn’t located and repaired quickly. An experienced roofing contractor is a good choice to inspect your roof at least once a year. Any problem caught early can be fixed without having to pay for a new roof.

A Solatube can be adapted with a light sensing system that constantly adapts light levels to changes in sunlight intensity in order to maintain a consistent level of lighting in the room.
When concrete is pumped and completed, it typically takes about 7 days to cure. This is a longer time than other materials but it also lasts longer than many of the other comparable building materials.
Solatube daylight solutions come in a variety of sizes and configurations. We offer a full range of lines including advanced lighting solutions that deliver sunlight during the day and provide energy efficient LED lighting at night.
