Slate is one of the best roofing materials available today. Roofing contractors and homeowners alike recommend it for its many benefits: it’s beautiful, it has a long life span, and it can withstand harsh weather conditions.
However, many homeowners choose other options because they find slate too expensive. But now, homeowners can have a genuine slate roof for a fraction of the price, thanks to GAF’s TruSlate® Premium Roofing System.
Let’s take a closer look at its features and benefits.
It’s made from genuine slate – TruSlate is made from real quarried slate, sourced from select New England and Canadian quarries known for their exceptional quality standards. It’s not a synthetic imitation, asphalt shingles with slate-like qualities, or shavings from slate tiles. GAF kept the price low by maximizing the exposed slate areas and eliminating the wasted slate surfaces, allowing maximum slate exposure without compromising the features and benefits of traditional slate roofs.
It allows easy installation, repair, and maintenance – GAF has designed a unique hanger system that allows easy installation. It takes about the same time it takes to install as a typical asphalt shingle roof. It also lets roofing professionals to repair individual tiles without moving the surrounding ones.
It can be installed on most existing roof decks – TruSlate is lighter than traditional slate roofing which makes it ideal for any existing roof. This means you’re less likely to spend extra on modifying and reinforcing your roof deck to accommodate a TruSlate roof.
It has an exclusive warranty coverage – GAF is known for their superior roofing warranties, including their Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty for their asphalt shingle products. Slate roofs have different requirements, which is why TruSlate has its own warranty coverage. TruSlate® Ultimate Pledge™ Limited Warranty features a limited lifetime warranty, and as long as you (or the next owner) owns the property where your TruSlate roof is installed, you’re covered. You also get a 20-year workmanship coverage, plus an exclusive quality inspection conducted by a GAF representative right after installation.
