Slate

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. The TruSlate® system from GAF can make your dream of owning ­a genuine slate roof a reality. The TruSlate® system features: 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
