The slate look. Without the weight or the price.
Real slate is stunning and almost nobody installs it here, because it's heavy enough to need structural work and expensive enough to price most homes out. Enviroslate gives you the same look at about a third of the weight.
Moulded from real slate. Built for real weather.
Enviroslate is a composite tile engineered to look like natural slate and survive coastal BC.
- About a third of the weight. Natural slate often needs the roof structure reinforced before it can go on. Most homes take Enviroslate on the existing framing. We verify yours during the inspection either way.
- True stone texture. The tiles are formed from 3D scans of natural slate, so you get real edge grain and variation, not a stamped pattern that repeats down the roof.
- It holds its colour. Unlike composite shake, which silvers over time, Enviroslate keeps the stone tone you choose for the life of the roof.
- Class 4 impact, wind rated to 180 mph, and no rot, moss or insect damage, all under a lifetime warranty.
Three stone tones that stay put.
Shown in the manufacturer's own product photos. Enviroslate holds the colour you choose, so what you see here is what stays on the roof.
Premium colours, multi-tone and custom blends are available on request beyond the three standards. Screen colours are approximate, so we bring physical samples to your free inspection. Full details on the Enviroslate product page. Prefer the cedar look? We also install Enviroshake composite shake.
Why homeowners choose Enviroslate over the real thing.
- Natural slate. The genuine article, and gorgeous, but heavy enough to often need structural reinforcement and costly enough to price most homes out before the tiles are even ordered.
- Concrete or clay tile. A common slate stand-in that's still heavy and prone to cracking under impact and freeze-thaw.
- Enviroslate. The slate look at roughly a third of natural slate's weight, on your existing framing, at a fraction of the installed cost, with a lifetime warranty behind it.
For European, French country, Tudor and modern homes where slate defines the look, Enviroslate wins almost every time once owners see it held against the house.
