GAF’s TruSlate® roof is the ultimate alternative to traditionally installed slate roofs. Thanks to its ingenious design, it is far superior to other options and costs far less than the original.
Today, Roofer Chicks® explains what’s special about this revolutionary roofing system:
50% Slate, 0% Waste
Half of traditionally installed slate shingles is invisible to the eye because each piece is tucked under the one above it. The hidden portion is useless because it doesn’t contribute to the curb appeal, but is still part of the bill. As a result, it’s nothing but a waste of money.
The TruSlate Premium Roofing System eliminates that. It replaces the unseen portion of each piece with the UnderBlock™ UV and Moisture Barrier. It’s made from specially blended high-density polyethylene, which is an ultra-tough material. As a high-tech waterproofing component, it helps reduce the chance of leakage and eliminates the need for frequent roof repairs. And since its lower half is genuine slate, it’s immune to practically anything.
Lighter but Just as Tough
The TruSlate roof is so lightweight it can be installed in almost any home. On the contrary, traditional slate roofing systems are heavy, usually requiring structural reinforcement. The TruSlate roof generates weight savings from length reduction and not from a thickness decrease. In other words, it’s sturdy as traditional slate roofs without being as hefty.
Removable and Reliable
Every individual TruSlate piece is easy to remove and slide back into place. This makes it easy and safe to walk on your roof to clean your skylights without worrying about breaking anything. When properly fastened, it can withstand the strongest winds.
