Westmorland Green Roofing Slates

Westmorland Green is a pale green stone, often highlighted by contrasting veins which emphasise its natural origins.

Westmorland Green has been used for generations to provide roof coverings, cills and copings. Architects and designers around the world have long taken advantage of its natural beauty, durability and adaptability to create classic weather resistant details and surface finishes.

Design guidance, details and sample clauses for the specification of Westmorland Green are available in a series of Burlington brochures.

Burlington can supply Westmorland Green in a variety of smooth and textured finishes (sample cards showing the finishes are available from Burlington).
