|
| |
| How consistent
are the colors? |
| |
|
Similar to nature, RoofRoc tiles will vary
slightly in shade as a result of the natural resource material used. This slight
variation in shade aids to better replicate the appearance of natural
slate and avoid a monotone appearance of the roof. Master color samples are
maintained and used at the manufacturing plant to ensure that standard colors
remain as consistent as possible.

that is offered. |

Does RoofRoc require extra structural support on a roof? |
| |

requirements for a RoofRoc Slate Roof are the same as those for an asphalt or
cedar roof. |
