Slate Descriptions & Weathering Characteristics
Sea Green - Weathering
Our Sea Green is green or grey/green when first quarried. After application to the roof and exposure to the elements, the majority of these slates weather to shades of buff and brown. The predictability of this color change is particularly advantageous when replacing or repairing brown slate or when trying to achieve a brown roof. Produced in Vermont.

Semi-Weathering Grey/Green
One of the most durable and plentiful of the Vermont slates. A pleasurable material to work for the slate craftsman - cuttable and consistent. This stone is grey/green when freshly quarried and a naturally harmonious blend of greens, greys and buff after weathering. Produced in Vermont.

Vermont Grey
Our Vermont Grey weathers uniformly. The natural battleship grey assumes a light bronze patina over time that deepens the color but maintains a grey roof. Rugged, durable and of medium texture, Vermont Grey is the traditional "slate grey" stone roof. Occasional pieces may show buff and brown tones. Produced in Vermont.
