Graduated Length
Shorter slates are placed at the top of the roof, which carries the least rainwater. As the water load increases downward, the lengths of the slates increase, with the longest slates at the eave. The differences in slate lengths is not noticeable on the finished roof.
Graduated Thickness
Slate of three, four, or more successive thicknesses are commonly incorporated into graduated length roofs. The largest and thickest slates are placed at the eaves, where the most rainwater flows. The slates are then laid with diminishing lengths and thicknesses until the smallest and thinnest slate are at the top. Slates at the eave could be one inch thick or more, with slates at the top measuring 3/16″ thick.
