Stone Slate Style
Slate roofing has a classic high-end and luxurious look. Unfortunately, natural stone slate is very heavy and is expensive to produce and install. In most cases, roofs that use real slate must be reinforced to manage the additional weight. Natural slate is also susceptible to deterioration through freeze/thaw cycles and can be destroyed by large hail stones. Roofing Force installs natural slate on elite projects such as churches. Even so, the use of real slate is not very practical in most modern-day applications. Fortunately, there are several state-of-the-art alternatives to natural slate including: Concrete Slate manufactured by Newpoint (Westlake/Boral); Composite Slate manufactured by DaVinci Roofscapes and Inspire Roofing; and Stamped Steel Slate manufactured by Future Roof. Roofing Force is the best installer of natural, concrete, polymer, and steel slate products in the Midwest.
Composite Polymer Slate
Composite Slate is a man-made synthetic polymer product that is casted and made to look like authentic natural materials. Polymer Slate offers a real slate look without the headaches that come with installing and maintaining real stone slate. These composite products provide the beauty, texture and other benefits of natural products, but are offered at a faction of the price and weight of real slate. DaVinci, Brava and Inspire Composite Slate products are modeled from actual slate for natural, non-repeating beauty. These state-of-the art products have a Class A Fire Rating, Class 4 Impact Rating and a 110 MPH Wind Rating, are energy efficient, and are designed to last 50+ years. Composite slate is made of pure virgin resins and includes UV and thermal stabilizers as well as a highly-specialized fire retardants. These beautiful Slate Composite products come in a variety of earth tone colors, sizes and patterns. Learn More About Composite Polymer Roofing.

These metal slate panels will never crack, spit, burn or blow off, and come in a variety interesting colors. All Future Roofing Systems come standard with a Lifetime Limited Non-Prorated Transferable Warranty.
Concrete Slate
Roofing Force installs concrete and lightweight concrete slate products manufactured by Newpoint (Westlake/Boral). These products have an excellent lifespan and provide great energy efficiencies and good wind fire and ice dam resistances. Like natural slate, these products can be heavy and may require reinforced framing. Concrete may not be as good as composite or steel slate in high hail impact areas or be as good as other products in an earthquake. Also, great caution needs to be made to prevent breakage and slippage when walked on. Although less expensive than natural slate, these concrete products do not look as realistic as natural or plolymer slate.
