The Penrhyn quarry is the largest and most famous slate quarry in the world.  This quarry has been producing slates from as far back as the 13^th century, and its slates are universally accepted as the best quality slate in the world.  Indeed, these slates are still sold all over the world – to Australia, the Americas, the Far East and all over Europe.

Penrhyn Blue Bangor roofing slates originate from the Cambrian era and have a lifespan measured in centuries.  Indeed, a second hand 150 year old Blue Bangor slate has a value of one third of a new one and they are only building material which will actually increase in value over the lifetime of a building.

The slates are a heather blue or purple colour and come in standard sizes of 500x300mm (20×12”), although larger and smaller sizes are available upon request.

Blue Bangor slates are available in Ireland only through LBS.  When buying these slates, be sure to ask for a certificate of origin and for a quarry backed guarantee.
