On an old-fashioned slate roof, half of each slate is never seen, because it’s tucked under the piece above it. We’ve replaced this wasted slate with a high-tech waterproofing material. With this ingenious design, the TruSlate® system can be installed on almost any roof.

The TruSlate® system from GAF can make your dream of owning ­a genuine slate roof a reality. The TruSlate® system features:

• Real hand-split quarried slate (not a synthetic imitation)
• An affordable luxury (often comparable to the cost of the cheap-looking imitations)
• Perfect for new construction or remodeling (because it typically eliminates the expensive structural modifications that old-fashioned slate requires)
• Improves your home's resale value

Sheldon Slate's natural roofing slate endures for centuries, and has been acclaimed for its performance, aesthetic qualities, and longevity. Roofing slate is specified due to its natural beauty, resistance to fire and acid, and long term durability.

The slate roofing tiles are custom made to order. Special sizes as well as standard sizes are available.
