Grayson Slate® Roofing is the classic unfading gray black roofing slate from Buckingham County, Virginia. This exceptional slate is quarried and fabricated by James River Slate Company®, a subsidiary of Vermont Structural Slate Company. Because of its superior properties and performance, reflective gray black color and rich texture, architects repeatedly specify this natural slate for institutional, commercial and residential roofing projects. It is appropriate for both traditional and contemporary architecture. Being an “unfading” slate, this durable material will hold its basic color after many years of exterior use.
