The best thing about choosing it instead of natural copper is the lower price. Besides, because it is a painted product, you can instantly get the brown patina look without waiting too long.

While some people do not really like copper because of the fact that as time goes by, it can create staining in the surrounding areas where it is installed, the burnished slate option is not like that. Worrying about stains is not necessary when you choose them.

With all those benefits, it is reasonable for this type of roof to become a favorite among people. If you also think so, in the following, we will provide you 10 roofing ideas with burnished slate metal as the primary material.

Here, we will focus on how it can be paired with other elements, including color, to create a stunning exterior look.

Sometimes, metal roofing in burnished slate color does not go alone. We meant that it can also look amazing when paired with another material in the exact same function.

You can see the idea in the picture above as an example. Here, the burnished slate metal is paired with regular roof shingles.

Although the metal material portion is smaller here, which is only for the front porch of the house, it does not make it less attractive. As a matter of fact, its position is at the very front, and its unique appearance makes it pop better if compared with the shingles.

Another thing that we love about it is the color that looks fabulous to be a part of the cozy transitional exterior design. It does match not only the shingles but also the stone walls and even the garage doors.

It works even if the rest of the house roofing uses something else, such as shingles, as used in the transitional residence above. Although it might not be easier to install, it can give the exterior more points of interest as well as something to catch more attention.
