Roofing Underlayment Products for Section 07 3126 (07315) - Slate Shingles



The TruSlate(tm) system from GAF-Elk can make the dream of owning a genuine slate roof a reality. The TruSlate(tm) premium roofing system features…

Real hand-split quarried slate (not a synthetic imitation)

Affordable luxury (often comparable to the cost of the cheap-looking imitations)

Installation on re-roofing or new construction (because it typically eliminates the expensive structural modifications that old-fashioned slate requires)

Potential improvement in the home's resale value (and may even help you to sell it more quickly)



How did we do it?

On an old-fashioned slate roof, half of each slate is never seen, because it’s tucked under the piece above it. We’ve replaced this wasted slate with a high-tech waterproofing material. With this ingenious design, the TruSlate(tm) premium roofing system can be installed on almost any roof.

It goes without saying, before you select your next roofing system, you owe it to yourself to consider the advantages of a TruSlate(tm) roof.

In fact, why even consider a plastic imitation, when you can get the real thing for about the same price—and for only a fraction of the cost of old-fashioned slate?



GAF TruSlsate Description:
The TruSlate(tm) premium roofing system offers property owners, property managers, contractors and architects the beauty and performance of a real, hand-quarried slate at an affordable price. This is a result of the ease and speed of the installation and the lack of expensive, structural modifications (often required on old-fashioned slate applications). TruSlate has been on the market for many years and has been tested to most of the major building and testing committees, including ASTM C406 and Dade County. The TruSlate premium roofing system finally allows the beauty and charm of real slate to be available to the masses.
