Protect Your Roof: Why a Slate Oxidation Warranty is Essential
Posted on 15th July 2024
The Silent Threat to Your Slate Roof
Natural slate is a beautiful and durable material, but it's not without its challenges. One of the most common issues is oxidation, a process caused by minerals like iron pyrite within the slate. While some pyrites are harmless, others can lead to the slate's eventual breakdown.
The Growing Problem of Poor Quality Slate
Unfortunately, the UK market is flooded with low-quality slate. Many slates from popular exporting countries contain unstable pyrites that will ultimately cause the roof to fail. This means that without proper protection, your investment in a slate roof could be at risk.
SSQ's Commitment to Quality
That's why SSQ offers a unique 'Slate Oxidation Warranty'. With over 41 years of experience, SSQ have unparalleled knowledge of slate deposits worldwide. Their commitment to quality means SSQ only source slate from the best locations, ensuring the highest possible standards.
Understanding the T1 Standard
While the T1 thermal cycling test is a crucial part of assessing slate quality, it has limitations. Testing a small sample of slates cannot guarantee the overall quality of a quarry's output. SSQ go beyond the T1 standard by providing full traceability on their slates and backing them with a comprehensive warranty.
