Slate stones can be made into roofing slates. The

essentially installed as roof shingles or roof
tiles on the roofs of the buildings.

Indian Slate Stone Suppliers advice slabs to be
fixed on the roofs by two processes, which are
either by nails or with hooks. Both the
processes ensure that the slate tiles are fixed
to the wooden beams of the roof. The nails and
the hooks that are used in fixing the slate tiles
were traditionally build of copper. However, with

stainless steel or modern alloys have been used
