DaVinci Roofscapes have invented wonderfully thick, well textured, natural looking slates which contain both colour blends and a variety of sizes of widths pre-packaged and ready for the roofer to install. You'll have to look real close to realize that it may not be real slate. In many ways it actually looks better with the random sizes, and thicker texture.

DaVinci Slate creates an absolutely elegant architectural appeal. As of May 2008, DaVinci has an even greater realism slate series called "Quarry Slate", with wonderfully realistic chiseled edges, just like real slate. The DaVinci Slate they were offering looked great, but this Quarry Slate series is outstanding. Please note that the lead times for Quarry Slate and currently 4 weeks plus, whereas the regular DaVinci Slate classic series is available in two to three weeks lead time currently.

DaVinci now offers the real ultra rich look of real slate but at a much more affordable price both for materials and installation than real slate. This product is light weight, hail resistant, easy to walk on, high impact resistance, all while delivering authentic looks and colours.

This is by far the most natural looking slate we have ever seen, bar none.

In terms of texture and realism the DaVinci Slate is the best looking in the industry, especially with its multiple widths and unique pre-blend colour offerings, and now even better with the new Quarry Slate series.

Now to top this off, they released, in the summer of 2005, a brand new profile called DaVinci Shake. It is thicker and longer than the slates and comes in four realistic wood shake colours. These polymer shakes have a subtle colour blend to enhance the beauty of their 5/8" thick synthetic shakes, and they do an excellent job of mimicking real medium thickness resawn wood shakes.

For those of you on the Westcoast, the Pacific Northwest, and in Southwest BC where wood look is the first choice, these DaVinci Shakes offer everything you are looking for.

"DaVinci Shake synthetic shingles showcase nature's gorgeous colours and textures...while delivering a level of performance never before seen in a synthetic" "The ideal blend of natural beauty and advanced technology, with none of the pitfalls of real wood. Its a beautiful blend indeed."

The colours we recommend are Mountain Blend, which creates that old shake weathered look one sees on old cedar roofs in the Pacific Northwest and Southwest BC, as well as Autumn Blend if one prefers a newer cedar look and appeal.

The features of DaVinci Shake include:

Thickness

	5/8" profile is over twice the thickness of other synthetic shakes.
	Extra Thickness deepens shadow-lines for an authentic top-grade appearance.
	Deep-Grained surface texture also enhances natural beauty.

Multiple Widths

	Produced in an equal mix of 9", 8", 7", 6" and 4" shakes.
	Creates a non-repeating natural look...as opposed to the man-made look of other "wide-panels" or other three size only synthetic shakes.

Realistic Colours

	Available in natural "blends" ...Autumn Wood, Mountain Blend, Tahoe Blend, and New Cedar.
	Each blend features DaVinci's numerous wood-tones pre-collated into bundles for fast and easy installation.

Patented two layer Color-Safe protection

	One layer of UV protection embedded throughout the polymer. "Classic Series"
	A second transparent coating applied on the surface of each shingle...like a high SPF sunscreen to protect against sun damage, for severe UV regions such as the Caribbean. "Renaissance" series, which costs a bit more, is not a necessity for areas such as Northwest USA, and Western Canada where the "Classic" series is normally sold.

Engineered to last a lifetime

	Custom-engineered polymer specifically formulated for the harshest outdoor conditions.
	Manufactured from 100% pure resin to assure consistency. (Other synthetic shingles are manufactured from recycled tires, milk bottles, even baby diapers). But these varieties of reused materials not only do not provide consistent raw materials, they may even include undesirable debris which can reduce a products fade resistance or durability properties.

Unsurpassed durability

	Class A Fire Rating
	Class 4 Impact Rating
	High Wind Rating
	Resistance to freeze-thaw, algae/fungus, and insects
	50 Year Material Warranty

Newest features released for April 2008:

Finally, a one piece hip and ridge cap is now being made for DaVinci Shake Classic, as well as certain colours of the DaVinci Slate.

This will make the roof look better, it will make the installation go easier and faster, and is a much welcomed improvement. It is flexible to adjust through a range of roof slopes, and is more weather resistant than the old fashioned two piece method of capping off the roof.
