The Repair, Replacement and Maintenance of Historic Slate Roofs. Slate is one of the most aesthetically pleasing and durable of all roofing materials. It is indicative at once of the awesome powers of nature which have formed it and the expertise and skill of the craftsman in handshaping and laying it on the roof.
The most common original roofing material is tar and gravel. A tar and gravel roof consists of layers of asphalt and tar paper (or newer, more sophisticated materials) adhered with applications of molten asphalt. The laminated layers get a top finish of gravel, some of which becomes embedded in the hot asphalt, and some of which lays loose on the surface of the roof.
