Slate is the best roofing material known to man. A natural material that lasts over 100 years and guarantees a perfect performance in any condition. Vermont Slate offers the widest range of roofing slates in the market, with more than 40.000 combinations of models, sizes and shapes. CUPACLAD slate siding systems offer a revolution in cladding applications for natural slate.
Highly durable tectonic slate and new fixing systems combine for a lightweight and easy to install solution that maximizes the benefits of ventilated facades. READYSLATE is the first pre-assembled natural slate roofing system. READYSLATE keeps all the exceptional properties of natural slate, a product which has been molded by nature for over 500 million years with unmatchable and unbeatable characteristics.
Initially constructed in 1949, making it one of the oldest buildings in East Chattanooga, TN, the Avondale Youth and Family Development Center was clearly past its prime and due for a change. In November of 2019, it was replaced by a completely new facility.

Slate is a fine-grained, homogeneous, sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash which has been metamorphosed in layers.
Slate can be made into roofing slates, because it has two lines of breakability: Cleavage and grain.
This makes it possible to split slate into thin sheets.
Fine slate can also be used to hone knives.
Slate is mainly composed of quartz and muscovite (a mica), often along with biotite, chlorite, and hematite, or, less frequently, apatite, graphite, kaolin, magnetite, tourmaline, or zircon.
