SLATE TILE
If you’re looking for the incredible aesthetics of natural quarried slate roofing and want to avoid costly substructure modifications required to handle the extreme weight of slate tiles, the Old World Slate is the revolutionary composite slate tile for you.
Product Profile
With a 1″ profile, the slate polymer tile has the volume of traditional slate roof tiles with a fraction of the weight. This allows for less expensive shipping costs and east of installation. The Old World Slate shingles have the thickest synthetic slate roof profile available. The 1″ thick profile of this product creates beautiful colour exposure and an unsurpassed durability.
Durability
The Old World Slate tiles are made of recycled plastics (polymer) and other fully sustainable materials. Natural slate tile is fragile and requires lots of attention throughout the years. Chips or cracks can lead to costly repairs, and finding a colour match for replacement slate shingles is next to impossible. Our Old World Slate roofing shingles are Class 4 impact rated (the highest in the industry) and hail warrantied. The Old World Slate is also available in Class A or Class C fire rating.
