The homeowner was looking for a premium-quality roofing slate for this re-roofing project, that would perfectly complement this stunning villa. Rather than choosing the dark anthracite tones that are commonly seen on roofs throughout the Netherlands, the goal was to create a lighter, more refined appearance that harmonises with the architecture of the home and its natural surroundings.

After carefully evaluating several alternatives, SSQ Riverstone Heavy 30x20mm slate proved to be the perfect choice. Its elegant light grey colour, enhanced by subtle green undertones, gives the roof a distinctive yet timeless character that beautifully enhances the villa’s overall design.
Beyond its striking appearance, Riverstone phyllite slate is renowned for its exceptional durability, outstanding consistency and long-lasting performance. Every slate is carefully selected to ensure a uniform, high-quality finish, while its natural strength and weather resistance makes it an investment that will stand the test of time.
Combined with its timeless aesthetic, Riverstone slate offers the ideal balance of beauty, reliability and craftsmanship. Making it the perfect roofing material for this exceptional home.
The slates were installed using high-quality stainless steel slate hooks, ensuring a durable and secure fixing system with an exceptionally clean finish. Instead of the traditional woven corners commonly seen on slate roofs in the Netherlands, this project features elegant zinc corner flashings.
