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. Some slate roofs have lasted for hundreds of years, enduring all of the ravages 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.
The TruSlate system from GAF can make your dream of owning a genuine slate roof a reality. The TruSlate system features:
Half of each slate is never seen on an old-fashioned slate roof because it's tucked under the piece above it. We've replaced this wasted slate with a high-tech waterproofing material. The TruSlate system can be installed on almost any roof with this ingenious design. 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 only a fraction of the cost of old-fashioned slate.
