Matacouta natural slate has a reputable history in Scotland and is highly regarded for its blue-black colour, traditional riven texture and characteristic grain. Often used on buildings of historical importance, Matacouta is the perfect choice for any project. SSQ Matacouta Heavy Slate is Scotland’s adopted gem – the ultimate in natural roofing slate. Cut from the finest Cabrera Mountains of North-West Spain, Matacouta is a favourite of Scottish architects as an alternative to indigenous Scottish stone. Scotland has a unique architectural style. The buildings in Scotland can’t be rivalled anywhere else – a subtle blend of design environment, history and natural materials has created a traditional character that is worthy of a trademark. SSQ Matacouta Heavy roofing slate lends itself to this tradition and has been accepted in its adopted homeland as the finest roofing material available on the market. Specially hand split as a thicker roofing slate, the extra depth adds character to the buildings it decorates as well as providing the essential extra protection that the harsh Scottish climate demands. Matacouta’s track record is so strong that has been accepted in the past by Historic Scotland for use on listed buildings. Matacouta Heavy has an astoundingly deep blue-black colour, it exhibits a naturally riven texture, and is unique to the quarry from where the slate takes its name. The distinctive colour is completely natural and devoid of artificial pigments – it will not fade even when exposed to the harshest environments.
