What Is Composite Slate Roofing?

Composite slate roofing is a high-performance alternative to natural slate. Made from a blend of polymers, rubber, and recycled materials, it replicates the texture, color, and shape of real slate tiles—but at a fraction of the weight and cost.

It’s designed to offer the same timeless elegance as natural stone, while delivering superior durability and ease of maintenance.

Composite Slate vs. Natural Slate

While natural slate has long been prized for its beauty and durability, it’s heavy, expensive, and can be brittle.

Composite slate offers the same elegant aesthetic without the drawbacks—no cracking under pressure, no special structural requirements, and no intensive upkeep.
