Are you in the U.S.? If so, I would recommend that you buy domestic (either new or reclaimed) from a reputable source (there are a few to avoid) who will guarantee that their slate meets S1 specifications. Get (free) samples and whack on them with a hammer. Seriously.   Nathan Sprehe New member Username: Nsprehe Post Number: 1 Registered: 05-2007 Posted on Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - 09:16 am:        I'm getting ready to redo my 3rd. floor mansard roof and I was told to look into hard vs. soft slate tiles. When looking at new tiles, I don't see anyone distinguishing between hard and soft with their products. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, nate
