Genuine Slate Can be Yours with TruSlate® Roofing Slate is one of the most beautiful and durable roofing materials known to man. It was the roofing material of choice for centuries, with some slate roofs lasting for hundreds of years, enduring everything mother nature threw at them, but slate roofs had been heavy and expensive, putting them out of reach of most property owners. Now, TruSlate® makes the dream of having a slate roof a reality. No mere synthetic imitation, TruSlate® is real S1-grade hand-split quarried slate. How can they bring you such an affordable luxury? Instead of covering half the slate up, they've replaced half the slate with high-tech waterproofing material. This ingenious design means the TruSlate® system can be installed on almost any roof. If you've got questions, GAF has created the Roofing Wizard to help you find the perfect roof for your home. Model: Read More about TruSlate® |
