Natural slate, clay tile and copper metal are sustainable materials.

• Durability: Slate is incredibly durable and can last for 100+ years when properly maintained, reducing the need for replacements and minimizing waste.

• Sustainable sourcing: Slate is a natural material, and when sourced responsibly, it has a lower environmental impact than synthetic alternatives.

• Long lifespan: Like slate, clay tiles can last for decades, which reduces the environmental impact of frequent replacements.

• Natural material: Made from natural clay, these tiles are non-toxic and generally environmentally friendly to produce.

• Energy efficiency: Clay tiles can help keep homes cooler in the summer, reducing the need for air conditioning and lowering energy consumption.

Longevity: Copper roofs can last for 50+ years and often develop a patina over time, which adds to their aesthetic value and durability.

• Copper gutters have a distinctive, elegant look that enhances the curb appeal of any home. As they age, they develop a rich, green patina, giving them a timeless and sophisticated appearance that blends well with many architectural styles.

• The premium look and long lifespan of copper gutters can add value to your home, appealing to future buyers due to their durability, elegance, and low-maintenance nature.

• While copper gutters come at a higher initial cost, their durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic benefits make them a wise long-term investment.

• Unlike traditional external gutters, which are attached to the fascia board and hang outside the roofline, built-in gutters are housed within the roof itself, often running along the eaves or in the valleys of the roof.

• Cleaning: Since built-in gutters are not as easily accessible as traditional external gutters, cleaning and maintenance can be more challenging. Regular inspection is necessary to avoid clogs caused by debris, leaves, and other materials.

• Repairs: Built-in gutters require professional attention when repairs are needed, as the system is integrated into the roof. Damaged built-in gutters may require partial or complete removal of the roofing materials around them to fix or replace them.
