Welsh Slate, The best and most popular in the world.

Comes with a 100 year warranty direct from the quarry. Heather Blue in colour makes this one of the most desirable slates on the market.

Operating from its quarries in North Wales, Welsh Slate has been supplying the world with high-quality slate for hundreds of years. Penrhyn Quarry has been producing roofing slate since the thirteenth-century.

Penrhyn Welsh slate has been exported to Australia since the very early days of Australia’s settlement. In the early days of the colony, roofs were generally made of bark and sometimes timber shingles.

The first records of Welsh Penrhyn slate being used was in the Rocks, Sydney in 1820.

Since then it has been a highly sort after unique roofing material that continually grows in fashion and popularity across NSW, especially in Sydney.

Due to it’s popularity and limited supply there are times when this material may be found scarce or low on supply. At this current point in time we are seeing supply of Welsh Slate becoming harder to get due to Covid import factors that we are working through with the supplier.
