Course description: AEC Daily: Mastering Slate: Benefits, Options, & Strategies for Selection & Sourcing
Waterproof, fireproof, nonporous, and eco-friendly natural slate has great value as a building material, particularly given its ability to protect structures for generations. This course reviews the characteristics and properties of slate, presents some of the many design options, and provides guidance on sourcing and specification. The sustainability benefits of roofing slate are also discussed, from its extraction and low-impact processing to its strength and enduring properties in all weather conditions.
Describe how slate is formed and extracted, the different types and colors of natural slate used for roofing, and the low environmental impact of slate processing and manufacturing.
Restate the aesthetic and sustainable production and performance benefits of roofing slate and how it can contribute toward meeting LEED® v4.1 credit requirements.
Discuss the factors to consider to take advantage of natural slate’s wide range of design possibilities and the importance of sourcing roofing slate from a reliable and experienced provider.
Summarize testing and specification recommendations to ensure roofing slate offers long-term durability, reducing resource consumption and construction waste over roofing alternatives that need more frequent replacement.
