The new build also has a steeper roof pitch than before so it was good to see the slate was able to adapt to the new demands too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Offering a 100 year guarantee on its Riverstone slate, SSQ is confident that its slate will really stand the test of time, preserving the natural appearance associated with slate. With only a handful of sources known worldwide, SSQ\u2019s Riverstone slate is one of very few top quality phylitte slates available. Its unique satin-like lustre makes it a frequent choice for prestigious projects over the world.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the Falmouth project, Haroun El-Helw, Head of Marketing said: \u201cIt\u2019s great to see the Riverstone slates originally installed on the property 12 years ago being re-used \u2013 with the original guarantee still valid, that gives the slates a minimum remaining service life of 88 years. It\u2019s fair to say that many alternative roofing materials may not have stood the test of time quite so well!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about SSQ visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ssqgroup.com\">www.ssqgroup.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By re-using 12-year-old SSQ Riverstone slates from the original build, a bungalow in Falmouth, Cornwall has undergone a complete rebuild whilst preserving the original look of the roof.
