Welsh Slate

Welsh Slate is the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality roofing slate, architectural and aggregate slate products. Alex Grant, Welsh Slate's sales and technical manager for north east England, said: "Most of Teesside University's buildings were built fairly recently but Parkside West has a touch of heritage and history about it. "The university specified Welsh slate for the re-roofing project as it wanted to ensure the building retained its original character and appearance." Welsh slate is proven to be the toughest natural slate product known to man, and has the longest lifecycle of any slate in the world.
