There’s history in stone roofing

Stone roofing has a long history that dates back thousands of years. It was one of the earliest and most durable roofing materials used by ancient civilizations. The ancient Greeks, for example, began using stone for their roofs around 700 to 650 B.C. as a way to reduce the risk of fire from thatched roofs. Stone roofs were typically constructed by placing stones on top of a wooden frame. They were known for their durability, wind resistance, and fire immunity.

Stone roofing remained prevalent in many places, particularly in the countryside, until the 1800s. In England, stone roofs were a common sight, and they were highly regarded for their durability and resistance to fire. Over time, stone roofing techniques evolved, and innovations such as stone-coated metal roofing were developed. Stone-coated metal roofing, which emerged during and after World War II, offered a more durable roof that retained the aesthetic advantages of traditional roofing materials.
