The best thing about choosing it instead of natural copper is the lower price. Besides, because it is a painted product, you can instantly get the brown patina look without waiting too long.

While some people do not really like copper because of the fact that as time goes by, it can create staining in the surrounding areas where it is installed, the burnished slate option is not like that. Worrying about stains is not necessary when you choose them.

With all those benefits, it is reasonable for this type of roof to become a favorite among people. If you also think so, in the following, we will provide you 10 roofing ideas with burnished slate metal as the primary material.

You can see the idea in the picture above as an example. Here, the burnished slate metal is paired with regular roof shingles.
