Why homeowners choose it
Synthetic slate gives you the shadow line and depth of natural slate at a fraction of the weight, which means no structural engineering conversation for most homes. It carries a Class A fire rating, which is worth real consideration if you are building anywhere near the foothills.
Where it fits
Custom homes where the roof is part of the architecture, and anywhere an HOA or a design review board wants a slate look. It is a premium product and it prices like one, but it sits well below natural slate.
Worth knowing
Not every roofer installs it, and installation technique matters more than with a standard shingle. Ask whoever bids your job how many synthetic slate roofs they have actually completed.
Spacing is the part people miss on synthetic slate
Thirty seconds with Justin on a new-construction job: why synthetic slate tiles are pre-laid and spaced for expansion and contraction, and what happens to the roof when they are not.
