-
Are synthetic slate shingles better than natural slate shingles?
Synthetic slate shingles are lighter and less expensive than natural slate shingles. While both are environmentally friendly roofing materials, synthetic slate shingles are easier to transport and install because of their weight and uniform size. They’re less fragile than natural slate, too.
-
Do synthetic slate shingles require less support than natural slate shingles?

The considerably lighter weight of synthetic shingles means they can be held in place on a standard roof using standard roofing nails.
