Synthetic Slate Takes on Stormy Weather
Unpredictable weather can be brutal on roofs. As Paul Wang discovered, that’s especially true in Houston.
In 2019 Wang’s home went through another bad storm. This time, the winds were so severe that shingles were torn off the roof. In addition, hail damaged many roof shingles.
“When a sales representative from Affluent Exteriors explained the benefits of synthetic slate tiles, I was ready to make the change,” says Wang. “We previously had asphalt shingles. They were about 22 years old. Between the hail and the wind we knew it was time for a new roof.
“The DaVinci slate roof we have now looks beautiful. The Castle Gray color adds to our home’s overall appearance. Most importantly, we now feel protected from bad weather.”
Stormy Territory
Located in Texas, Affluent Exteriors has replaced a variety of roofs due to hail storms. Each time they offer up DaVinci Roofscapes slate and shake tiles as a recommendation.
“For the past eight years I’ve installed DaVinci roofs after storms roll through our state,” says Keith Colson, COO and vice president of field operations for Affluent Exteriors. “The synthetic tiles resist impact and high winds. They’re ideal for storm-riddled areas like ours.”
Made of pure virgin resins, UV and thermal stabilizers, DaVinci products are ready to stand up to stormy weather. Each tile is Class 4 Impact Rated and Class A Fire Rated. The synthetic tiles can withstand winds up to 110mph. Above all, the state-of-the-art tiles are backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty, giving peace-of-mind to homeowners.
