Symphony Slate Roofing Showroom

The traditional slate look which is uniform is recreated with Symphony Slates. Often found in historic architecture, Parisian and French classic styles, eastern Canada, and other old world European buildings, these Symphony Slates offer wonderful and authentic architectural appeal for all styles of homes.

The first advantage of using these composite slates is that they are lightweight and very easy to install. Ideal for re-roofing with their lightweight design, they weigh in at less than 4 lbs per square foot. This weight is approximately the same weight as heavy-weight asphalt shingles so there is never a concern for using Symphony Slate on any re-roofing project within the approved slopes or pitch of roof.

Real slate would rarely be an option for reroofing, as real slate is super-heavy and most home structures are not designed to support real slate systems (with the exception of our Tru-Slate system). On new construction, real slate can be used on new homes as the framing can be significantly beefed up. But real slate is one of the most expensive materials to get installed, and those real slate roofs usually have a significant breakage issue. Symphony Slate roofs are easy to install, are easy to walk on after being installed, and overall are installed at a very effective labour cost.  So for real cost savings, without sacrificing too much of the authentic look of real slate, Symphony Slate is a winner for cost efficiency compared to the great look that is created.

Symphony Slates are eco-friendly. They are made from recycled materials, TPE thermoplastic polymers, together with synthetic and natural elastomer rubbers, mineral reinforced. In the future this material is 100% recyclable, making Symphony Slate one of the most environmentally friendly and "green" roofing materials available today.

Polymer plastic based roofing materials have been installed on roofs for over 20 years now in Canada, which means these types of roofing materials are weathering the tests of time. Our severe Canadian climate is a great proving ground for roofing materials. So Symphony Slate has taken this real history, and made sure these proven ingredients that are installed successfully already are the primary materials that they use in the production of their quality slates.
