This modern roof tile in the classic slate tradition combines the beauty and character of natural slate and wood shingles with the strength and durability of concrete.
Roof finishes are offered to complement local architecture and include for example, fibreglass shingles, concrete or clay tiles or natural slate.
Roofs were sheathed in slate or wood shingles and overhung the buildings substantially.

Seal tab roof shingles with soffit and roof venting.
The roof was made of shingles split from the trunks of trees and nailed on with wrought nails made by Nathan Sherwood, my grandfather, in the blacksmith shop.

There were no soffit vents or roof vents which are essential when asphalt shingles are applied, so air can flow and help keep the shingles cold and prevent the shingles from getting too hot.
The roof was recovered with asphalt shingles that approximate the look of the original wood shingles used when the station was first built.
Shingles trimmed and "Roof boots" installed under shingles and into holes.

Roofs Expect to see pitched roofs with light weight concrete or ceramic tile shingles.
The roof had two crumbling chimneys with several bubbly sections of shingles that suggested a giant lived in the attic and at times had tried to stand up.
Shingles applied over well ventilated roof structures tend to last longer than shinlges applied over sheathing in contact with insulation.
