DaVinci Multi-Width Slate: The Natural Look

DaVinci Roofscapes started making composite slate tiles to solve the structural issues associated with traditional slate tiles. They utilize a proprietary "Vari-Blend" technology to create multi-toned tiles that are installed to mimic the look of authentic slate tiles.

  • Non-Repeating Patterns: Tiles are modeled from actual slate to ensure an organic, authentic look across the entire roof deck.

  • Maximum Weather Protection: These tiles carry a Class 4 Impact Rating (the highest possible) and are certified for wind speeds up to 110mph.

  • Lightweight Precision: At roughly 1/3 the weight of natural slate, DaVinci can be installed on almost any home originally designed for asphalt shingles.

Brava Old World Slate: The Thickest, Most Rugged Stone Profile

Brava Protective Roofing is renowned for producing one of the most realistic synthetic stone profiles in the world. Their "Old World" line features a thicker, more textured butt end that recreates the heavy, hand-quarried aesthetic of European estates.

  • Solid Tile Construction: Unlike "hollow-back" brands, Brava tiles are solid throughout, providing superior structural integrity and a more substantial sound-dampening quality.

  • Eco-Friendly Innovation: Brava tiles are manufactured using recycled materials, offering a sustainable "green" luxury option for environmentally conscious homeowners.

  • Color Stability: Every tile is UV-stabilized to ensure the deep charcoal, purple, and green tones remain vibrant for decades without fading or chalking.

Synthetic Cedar Shakes: The Beauty of Wood with Zero Maintenance

SHAKE-Aspen-Lookout-Mountain-TN-View-03_2022-02-02-155543_ecll_edited.jpg

Natural cedar shakes are iconic in the Northeast, but they are prone to moisture absorption, moss growth, and fire risk. Our synthetic cedar options provide a "permanent" wood look that is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing from the curb, without the need for annual cleaning or treatments.

Brava Cedar Shake: Deep Shadow Lines and Sustainable Innovation

Brava Cedar Shakes offer an unmatched "Heavy Shake" appearance. By utilizing a varied thickness in their molds, Brava creates dramatic shadow lines that give your roof a three-dimensional, high-end architectural feel.

  • Superior Curb Appeal: The variegated colors are infused throughout the tile, ensuring a natural, "just-installed" look that lasts for the life of the roof.

  • Structural Compatibility: These shakes are lightweight enough to be installed on existing structures, eliminating the need for the heavy-duty framing often required for natural wood or slate.

  • Sustainable Luxury: Crafted from recycled polymers, Brava offers the look of a heritage wood roof with a significantly smaller environmental footprint.

DaVinci Select Shake: Hand-Split Realism and 50-Year Durability

The DaVinci Select Shake line was created specifically for the homeowner who refuses to compromise on the rugged, textured look of a heavy hand-split cedar shake.

  • Class A Fire Rating: Unlike natural wood, DaVinci provides the ultimate peace of mind with a fire-resistant composition that protects your home from airborne embers.

  • Pest & Decay Proof: Because these tiles are non-porous, they are immune to wood-boring insects, woodpeckers, and the fungal decay that often plagues CT and NY cedar roofs.

  • Authentic Grain: Each tile captures the natural "riving" and deep graining of premium cedar, maintaining a prestigious aesthetic without the curling or cracking of real wood.
