What does all this mean?
The actual cost of a roof per unit floor area of the building is determined by a number of factors, including roof pitch, slate size and head lap. By taking advantage of the various sizes and types of SlateScape roofing slate, considerable cost savings can be made.
Roof Pitch & Lap
The shallower the roof pitch, the smaller the area of the roof slopes. This area reduction, however, does not automatically lead to a cost reduction because lower pitches require larger slates and laps. The full cost advantage can be taken by adjusting the lap to the minimum required, for the pitch of the roof.
