Now there is a solution to that problem.

LGC Roofing offers DaVinci composite slate roof system which is cheaper, easier to install and will last just as long as natural slate. This product will change people perspective on slate roofing.

Composite Slate

There are quite a few advantages to composite slates, besides being easier on the wallet:

  • The biggest issue with natural slate roof is its weight. Most houses in the US are not designed to support this kind of weight. DaVinci slates weigh less then half the weight of regular slate so they can be installed on almost any house.
  • Another problem with stone slates is they can be damage very easily, by falling branches, for example. DaVinci slates are made of special kind of plastic which makes them almost unbreakable.
  • Composite slates don’t need any maintenance after installation where natural slates need to be inspected at least once a year.

    • DaVinci slates are a real good alternative for homeowners who want the “slate roof look” without paying “slate roof price” .
