The last couple of decades, such roofing material as slate, was giving up its position, yielding to a different kind of tiles and roll materials. However, according to the experts of the Chrysotile Association, it is premature to talk about the final capitulation. In Soviet times, slate, a roofing material made of cement, water and a natural mineral of chrysotile-asbestos, was used everywhere. They covered both multi-storey buildings and private houses. The last 25 years the slate has appreciably succumbed to the roofing materials made of metal, ondulin and flexible roofing.
