Introducing TruSlate™
Affordable Genuine Slate Roofing
| Slate. It’s the most beautiful and durable roofing material known to man. For centuries, it’s been the roofing material of choice for the world’s greatest buildings. In fact, some slate roofs have lasted for literally hundreds of years, enduring all of the ravages that Mother Nature could throw at them.
And, oh yes, slate roofs are heavy— and expensive— putting them out of the reach of most property owners. Until Now. |
- Real hand-split quarried slate (not a synthetic imitation)
- An affordable luxury(often comparable to the cost of the cheap-looking imitations)
- Perfect for new construction or remodeling (because it typically eliminates the expensive structural modifications that old-fashioned slate requires)
- Improves your home's resale value (and may even help you to sell it more quickly)
How did we do it?
On an old-fashioned slate roof, half of each slate is never seen, because it’s tucked under the piece above it. We’ve replaced this wasted slate with a high-tech waterproofing material. With this ingenious design, the TruSlate™ system can be installed on almost any roof.
It goes without saying, before you select your next roofing system, you owe it to yourself to consider the advantages of a TruSlate™ roof.
In fact, why even consider a plastic imitation, when you can get the real thing for about the same price—and for only a fraction of the cost of old-fashioned slate.

ECO Green
Eco Green is a slate with a variety of greenish tones which include green, blue-green, and yellow. The result is a roof with a varied, elegant look.

Greystone
Greystone is a traditional color with a range of medium grey tones. It’s a beautiful color on its own or is a perfect complement or accent to any blend of slate colors.
Greystone works well with many exterior color schemes. It is especially suitable for those who are seeking a low-contrast, neutral grey roof. Also, full sunlight tends to make Greystone look much lighter due to its reflective nature.

Mystic Grey
Mystic Grey is a medium to dark warm grey slate with a unique random pattern of green “mist” on some pieces.
Mystic Grey complements most architectural styles and serves as a perfect base slate for blending. Compared to Greystone, Mystic Grey tends to have more contrast, as well as a somewhat greenish tint.
