Molded to recreate every detail of natural slate. The traditional method of producing slate tiles is to split them, using a hammer and chisel, from slate blocks. This creates the undulations and rough edges that give slate its natural, rustic appeal. We ve simply molded our tiles from the real thing to replicate every detail. But we didn t stop there. We use real slate to create the most realistic colors. The result is a thick tile with the deep shadow lines, chiseled edges and subtle shades of natural slate. PLY GEM ROOFING Engineered Slate 3
