<p>Slate in comparison to a rood tile is flat and not of a uniform
dimension. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Roof tiles can be made of terracotta, fired glazed clay or
concrete- They are made to a uniform pattern that overlaps and
keys in to the other tiles. <br>

<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>
Other than being used for roofing, they are
different and easily<br>
identified.<br>
