          <div>Slate is a natural material, quarried from sedimentary
            rock, they tend to be very smooth and not overlap too much.
            Usually found on older buildings, are rare on modern
            buildings unless they are in a conservative area and need to
            fit in.<br>

            Tiles are moulded from clay and are designed to lock
            together and overlap. Common on more modern buildings.<br>

                    Tiles are totally different to slates, I would never
                    consider a slate<br>
                    to be a tile.<br>
                    <br>
