Understanding Natural Slate Installation Techniques

This guide covers essential techniques for installing natural slate roofing, focusing on shorter head-nailed courses at the ridge to ensure a secure bond. It discusses the use of under-eaves courses, slate-and-a-half slates, and the occasional use of half slates. Installation methods include on-site holing versus pre-holing at the quarry. Additionally, the guide outlines the terminology associated with slate, such as gauge, side lap, head lap, and margin, which are relevant to various double lap coverings.
