Slate is one of the loveliest and most durable roofing materials on the market. However, for many American homeowners, the cost of a slate roof can be prohibitive because it is not the easiest material to install, repair or replace. If you want the look of genuine slate for your roof without breaking the bank, ABC Roofing offers a solution: GAF TruSlate®.
What is TruSlate?
GAF TruSlate is a genuine hand-split quarried slate, NOT a synthetic imitation. It is classified as S1 Grade, the highest-quality grade of slate. TruSlate provides affordable luxury that will increase your home’s value as well as its curb appeal.
How did GAF manage to produce a premium material without the premium price tag? By replacing the portion of roofing slate that gets tucked under the piece above it with a high-tech waterproofing material. It’s an ingenious product, one that can be installed on virtually any roof.
