The short answer: a Tudor calls for slate — but quarried slate weighs 8–10 lbs per square foot and cracks in freeze-thaw country. This Madbury home got 43 squares of Deep Charcoal Interlock aluminum slate instead: the same formal roofline at roughly 0.41 lbs/sq ft, no structural reinforcement, and no brittle tiles to slide after a hard winter.

Slate looks, Seacoast-proof performance
Madbury sits minutes from the Great Bay and the New Hampshire Seacoast, where salt air works on steel roofing from the fasteners out. Aluminum doesn’t rust — full stop — which is why this roof will keep its architecture and its finish for the life of the house, backed by the Interlock® Lifetime Limited Warranty.
This install is also the hero photograph of our website: a real New England roof on a real New England home, not stock photography. See the rest of our documented projects, or plan your last roof.
