If you love the look of cedar shake or natural slate roofing, there’s no reason to shy away from either thanks to these composite slate and shake roofing options.

Whether you’re building a new home or replacing an existing roof, DaVinci Roofscapes has the roof of your dreams. The wide variety of realistic-looking composite shake and slate roofing tiles can be a perfect match for your home.

Synthetic shake roofing options

Thinking about a shake roof? Think DaVinci Roofscapes. There are many authentic composite shake options suitable for any home:

Multi-width shake

DaVinci Multi-Width Shake: These composite shingles recall the craftsmanship and authenticity of natural, hand-split cedar shakes. But, with DaVinci composite shakes you gain the advantages of color stability and a lifetime limited material warranty. Plus, these deep-grained multiple-width tiles are available in a variety of standard color blends. DaVinci Multi-Width Shake is reminiscent of natural cedar shake roofing.

Deep-grained surfaces reflect natural cedar roofing. Tiles come in 9″, 8″, 7″, 6″ and 4″ widths. These tiles can be installed in a non-repeating fashion in either a straight or staggered pattern. And, a deep 5/8″ profile has both wavy and straight grains throughout the blend to create enviable shadow lines.

Single-width shake

DaVinci Single-Width Shake: DaVinci Single-Width composite shakes feature textures and natural visual shifts in color and shading that occur with real, hand-split cedar. The single tile size can be installed in a staggered pattern. Or, in a straight pattern to meet your visual roof desires. Realistic color choices make these composite shake tiles a natural fit for your home. DaVinci Single-Width Shake tiles come in 9″ lengths and resemble hand-split cedar shake roofing. The 5/8″ profile deepens shadow lines to replicate real cedar roofing.

Select shake

DaVinci Select Shake: Created with the authentic look of real cedar shake taken from natural wood profiles, the multi-width DaVinci Select Shake tiles resemble a traditional cedar shake look. This product line includes eight color blends including the Nature Crafted Collection.

Each Select Shake tile is 22” long with a 5/8” thickness. Widths are 8” and 10” per tile. The 10” wide pieces are made to resemble 4” and 6” shakes put together. This allows for faster and less labor-intensive installation.

Composite slate roofing options

From coast to coast, homeowners have discovered it’s easy to get the look of real slate with composite slate roofing. Forget about the high costs, heavy weight of slate and long-term maintenance hassles. DaVinci composite siding provides you with four affordable slate options.

Multi-width slate

DaVinci Multi-Width Slate: This profile is available in 12″, 10″, 9″, 7″ and 6″ widths. Each tile has a 1/2″ tile thickness at butt and 1/8″ thickness at tip. The most authentic-looking and versatile option, DaVinci Multi-Width composite slate tiles set the high mark for luxury. Laying tiles of multiple widths in a straight or staggered pattern creates the most natural, non-repeating appearance possible.

Single-width slate

DaVinci Single-Width Slate: Available in 12″ tile widths, the 1/2″ tile thickness of this slate is twice the thickness of other composite slate tiles. Tiles are created to form slightly varying shades from tile to tile for an authentic slate look.

DaVinci Single-Width composite slate tiles add a touch of tradition to a home without breaking the budget. These attractive slate tiles can be installed in either a straight or staggered pattern, making them perfect for a variety of aesthetics. The uniform tile size and impact-resistant composite construction work to reduce waste and speed up installation.

Province slate

Province Slate: A 12-inch-wide tile with a fixed 8-inch exposure, Province Slate evokes a historical nature with authentic traditional slate appeal.

The composite tiles have a non-repeating beauty that complements a wide variety of home styles. 5/8-inch tile thickness with self-aligning single-width tiles allow for quick installation. Available in six stunning colors, these competitively priced tiles come with a Class A fire and a Class 4 impact rating that means you can rest easy at night knowing you're protected.

Inspire slate

Inspire Slate: The economical choice for durable roofs with the look of natural thin slate, Inspire Slate has textured surfaces and deckled edges modeled from authentic natural slates. This Class 4 hail rated slate product is lightweight, yet is 110 mph wind uplift rated. All the beauty of natural slate with cutting-edge environmentally-conscious material technology that goes into every tile.
