Our vision is to expand new slate roof installations from a one percent market share to a two, three and even four percent market share.  Europe’s global dominance in new slate roof installations can be contributed to two primary things. Labor savings from installing slate with the hook fixing method reducing the total project cost typically 25%-30% and the second is relentlessly educating the Architects on availability, superior performance and reduced cost of installations with hook fixing method.  France installs their slate with the “hook fixing method”  and the reduced labor in hook fixing is the single reason for global dominance of new slate roof installations annually.

With the reduced cost of slate roof installation, as well as the superior performance the French are 50 times more likely to install a new slate roof than  Americans.
