Need expert in old antique roofs
To all your antique roofing experts
[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif'] [/FONT][FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']I took these photos this weekend in a tour of older homes in south Alabama. Some of these homes were from the 1800's and some the early 1900's and a lot had ancient roof coverings. I am specifically interested in the “diamond†pattern roof shingles shown on some of the homes. My question is, “what is the material are the dianmond pattern shingle is made of� At one time I assumed these were slat however I no longer think these are slate. I suspect many of the roofs are 75 years old thereabouts. Can anyone tell me the material these shingles are made of, assuming they might be 1925 vintage?[/FONT]

[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']Also, one another house you will see some metal shingles. I assume these are tin shingles. Can anyone confirm if the metal is tin or tin coated ?[/FONT]

Re: Need expert in old antique roofs
Being as there are no photos, just your description, I would suspect tern coated steel.
