Synthetic Roofing

Save the environment. Save Time. Save money.

Synthetic roofing offers several benefits for residential and commercial properties. Learn why synthetic slate shingles in particular are a feasible option you can depend on.

What Is Synthetic Roofing?

Synthetic roofing is a composite of multiple materials that are pressed into tiles or shingles. These materials include laminate, fiberglass, or slate, to name a few. For this reason, a synthetic roof is also called a composition roof. The mixture of materials creates high-quality roofing systems with incredible strength and longevity.

Synthetic roofing has become an industry favorite for many reasons. Although it’s relatively lightweight, this type of roof is proven to withstand inclement weather and the test of time. Its supreme durability and versatility give property owners the best of both worlds: reliable protection and eye-catching curb appeal. Although there are multiple composition roofing options on the market, one of the most popular is synthetic slate shingles.

Benefits of Synthetic Slate Shingles

Imagine a roofing system that’s strong yet lightweight and just as stylish as authentic slate, but less expensive. These benefits and many more come with synthetic slate shingles. Whether you’d like this roofing system for your home or your business, here are the many reasons why it’s a great option:

Easy Installation

Natural slate is stone derived from the earth, which makes it extremely heavy. However, synthetic slate is one of the lightest roofing materials at about 1.25 pounds per tile, which is even less than traditional asphalt shingles.

Contractors use simpler tools and follow a straightforward installation process. Therefore, unlike authentic slate roofing, synthetic slate shingles don’t require much training and take less time to install.

Energy Efficiency

Synthetic slate shingles are considered a green option because they’re made from recyclable materials with naturally reflective properties. These advanced ultraviolet inhibitors return sunlight to the environment instead of absorbing it.

Since the roof’s surface isn’t affected by the sun’s harmful rays, it doesn’t degrade as fast as traditional roofing materials. Synthetic roofing also maintains a cooler surface temperature, which keeps the building’s temperatures comfortable so you won’t overwork your thermostat.

Safety

Synthetic slate shingles provide the ultimate protection. Sometimes, it’s not just inclement weather you have to worry about—a crisis can occur as well. However, with synthetic slate shingles, you can rest assured that you and your visitors are safe. Property owners benefit from Class-A fire resistance and Class-4 impact resistance. In other words, whether a fire breaks out or there’s an incoming hail storm, your synthetic slate shingles aren’t quick to crumble, even under some of the worst conditions.

Cost Effectiveness

Synthetic slate shingles are cost-effective roofing materials that aren’t as heavy or fragile as natural slate roofing. Natural slate can cost up to $3,000 per square (note that one roof square equals 100 square feet). Conversely, prices start at just $300 per square for synthetic slate shingles and are warrantied up to 50 years. Compared to other roofing, synthetic roofing falls in the middle of the price spectrum, but it costs much less than natural slate in particular.
