04About this texture

Slate gives a roof a cool, slightly noble look: manor houses, coastal cottages, train stations, wizard towers and Victorian terraces. The plates vary between five blue grey shades and each one has a faint surface texture, so the roof shimmers instead of looking uniform. The relief is flatter than on clay tiles, 8 mm, because slates are thin, and the lower edges show a small step. In the scene the roof is pitched at 35 degrees and carries a chimney and a satellite dish.

Good for

Manor houses and Victorian terraces
Coastal cottages and lighthouses
Wizard towers and spooky mansions

Questions and answers

Slate or clay tiles, which suits my village?

Clay beaver tails feel warm and rural, slate feels cooler and more formal. Many towns mix both, slate on public buildings and clay on houses, and both share the brick and roof category.

Can I use the slate texture on walls?

Yes, slate hanging on walls is common in rainy coastal regions. Lay the courses level with each overlapping edge facing the ground, the same as on the roof.
