USES OF SLATE > ROOFS COVERING > SLATE ROOF LAYING
The best way to set up the slabs is to fix them with stainless steel or copper hooks.

A hook holds the slab on the roof even in very strong wind condictions.

As a further and very important advantage, should the slate break, a hook keeps it attached to the roof and makes it easily replaceable by adjusting the hook itself and laying a new slate tile. ROOFS COVERING PHOTO GALLERY
