[MassHistPres] Material Alternatives for Historic Rehabilitation

[Richard Casella]

I agree that use of CPA funds ups the requirements, but what Standard or reasoning considers fiberglass an acceptable substitute for copper but synthetic slate not a substitute for slate?

There is nothing, in my opinion, that is an acceptable alternative for slate in a project funded through CPA funds and acceptable per the Secretary of Interior Standards.

 

Fiberglass gutters, in lieu of copper gutters, may be acceptable for use on a historic home.

Hi All:

Can anyone recommend alternatives for a slate roof on historic rehabilitations that would be funded through CPA funds and acceptable per the Secretary of Interior Standards?

Also, what can be used in place of copper gutters again that would be acceptable to use on a historic home.

 

Thank you,
