Welsh and Scottish natural slate typically lasts 100–150+ years when correctly installed. Spanish natural slate typically offers 60–100 years. Synthetic slate typically 30–50 years. Southwest Scotland’s demanding climate makes professional installation quality and correct fixing specification particularly important for achieving full lifespan.
