Synthetic slate shingles are a modern improvement on a construction classic.
Made from combinations of plastic and rubber, synthetic slate is designed to mirror the beauty
and uniqueness of authentic slate. Synthetic slate is considered a "green" building alternative, and are more durable than authentic slate,
as they contain advanced ultraviolet inhibitors to reduce wear from the sun.
Synthetic slate shingles are lighter than all asphalt shingles, and most are certified by Underwriters Laboratories for Class 4 impact resistance.
