Graduated Thickness Vermont Blend
Graduated Thickness Vermont Blends are assembled from a variety of colors and sizes of your choice. The term graduated refers to the decreasing thickness and length of the slate as it progresses up the roof. This style originated out of necessity and efficiency to utilize every sliver of stone being extracted. However, the look quickly became a symbol of architectural prestige and is still considered the top of the line in domestic slate.
