Engineered Slate
Texture.
Beauty.
Strength.
Slate has adorned some of the
most prestigious homes and
buildings in the world. Our
engineered slate replicates
the beauty of natural slate in
durable, easy-to-install shingles.
Above it all, a roof says a lot about your home.
A roof plays a big part in the visual appeal of your home.
It makes up about a third of the exterior so the color,
shape and texture should be compatible with your home’s
style. Our engineered slate roofing suits almost any home.
It offers the beauty and durability of quarried slate but it’s
easier to install and costs substantially less. It will enhance
the appeal and value of your home for decades to come.

Molded to recreate every detail of natural slate.
The traditional method of producing slate tiles
is to split them, using a hammer and chisel,
from slate blocks. This creates the undulations
and rough edges that give slate its natural,
rustic appeal. We’ve simply molded our tiles
from the real thing to replicate every detail.
But we didn’t stop there. We use real slate to
create the most realistic colors. The result is a
thick tile with the deep shadow lines, chiseled
edges and subtle shades of natural slate.

Reducing our impact on the
environment is a priority at Ply Gem.
Our slate shingles are a good example.
Made of nearly 100% recycled
materials, they’re much lighter than
natural slate so less fuel is used in
shipping and handling. Once installed,
they’re designed for decades. It’s a
life cycle that’s truly sustainable.

are light and don’t require additional framing for support. They’re practically
indestructible. A roofing contractor can walk on them all day long without
damaging them. They don’t require special skills or tools. (We’ve designed
recessed nail flanges into the shingle to make installation simple). The end result
is a professional installation completed in less time. Which saves dollars for other
recycled
projects you have planned around the house.
