EZY Slate Lightweight Real Slate

Use genuine slate on weight-sensitive or value-engineered roofs with a repairable system available in multiple natural slate colors.

Real Slate. Less Weight. Easier Repairs.

EZY Slate is a lightweight roofing system that keeps the appearance and surface of genuine natural slate while reducing installed weight compared with many traditional slate assemblies.

WHY EZY SLATE

• Real natural slate—not a molded synthetic imitation

• Lower installed weight for projects where structure or load matters

• Individual slates can be accessed and replaced without removing a large premade panel

• Available with multiple natural slate colors, including Vermont color options

• Useful for residential, commercial, renovation, and select reroofing applications

• Designed to simplify handling and installation planning

HOW IT DIFFERS FROM SYNTHETIC SLATE

Synthetic products copy the look of stone using polymers or composites. EZY Slate uses real slate at the weathering surface, giving the roof natural color, texture, and variation.

HOW IT DIFFERS FROM PREMADE PANEL SYSTEMS

EZY Slate is not dependent on a large factory-made plastic-backed panel. That can make field layout, individual repairs, and color selection more flexible. Final suitability and installation details should always be reviewed for the specific roof.

PROJECT INFORMATION TO PROVIDE

Send plans or roof measurements, project location, deck type, structural or weight limits, roof pitch, desired color, preferred slate size or look, flashing scope, and installation schedule.
