Famous for its contributions to the auto industry and motorsports, Indiana prides itself on its status as the Crossroads of America. The state played a central role in the early colonial history of the United States and Canada as an important trading post for British and French settlers and Indigenous North Americans. Indiana was a major player in the French and Indian War, the American Revolutionary War, and the American Civil War, cementing its position in American history as a contributor to both the agricultural and industrial development of the United States. Now home to the Indianapolis Colts of the NFL and the NBA’s Indiana Pacers, the Hoosier State is a major contributor to American Sports and Auto culture.
From its early industrial days, Indiana has looked to slate shingles to provide shelter for its homes and businesses. The strength and resilience of slate roofing material makes it ideal for Indiana’s climate. Resistant to freeze-cycles and capable of withstanding gale-force winds and golf ball-sized hail, ASTM-01 rated roofing slate are ideal for withstanding the most perilous of weather conditions. A properly installed slate roof will provide security for a century and its serene majesty will draw the eye for just as many years.
