GAF TruSlate
TruSlate is an affordable, high quality slate roofing system by GAF Materials Corporation. This patented system combines genuine hand-split slate and an innovative installation procedure to produce attractive and enduring slate roofing at a significant cost and weight savings.
With traditional slate roof installations, shingles overlap, leaving a significant portion of the slate covered and invisible. The TruSlate System eliminates overlapping, using a stainless steel hangar and batten system to lock slates into place and UnderBlock™ UV and Moisture Barrier to protect against moisture intrusion. This process not only reduces the number of shingles; it lowers material costs and removes excess weight from the roof. Removing the excess weight can reduce costs further by reducing the need for structural modification.
The TruSlate system from GAF can make your dream of owning a genuine slate roof a reality. The TruSlate system features:
- Real hand-split quarried slate
(not a synthetic imitation)
- An ingenious installation system
(that typically eliminates the expensive structural modifications that old-fashioned slate requires)
- An affordable price
(often comparable to the cost of the cheap imitations)
