But one that stands out for its durability and beauty is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.truslate.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">GAF\u2019s TruSlate<\/a>.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Many people consider slate to be the most gorgeous, durable <a title=\"Bay Area roofing contractors\" href=\"http:\/\/centuryrooftile.com\/roofproducts.html\">roofing product<\/a> on Earth. Slate roofs connote \u201cold world\u201d prestige \u2013 and it just looks amazing. GAF\u2019s TruSlate premium roofing system is the best in the business.<\/p>\n<p>The system uses \u201cgenuine hand-split quarried slate,\u201d and the installation method is simpler than traditional methods. It requires less total slate material, so there&#8217;s less total weight on the structure. This reduces the burden on the structure and simplifies the engineering. As a result, installation typically costs about less than half what normal slate roof installation costs.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the slate is lighter\/thinner than traditional slate, it looks identical. The &#8220;weight saving&#8221; comes from the fact that the \u201cunder belly\u201d of the slate is replaced with a special type of waterproofing material called UnderBlock UV &amp; Moisture Barrier. This technology uses high density polyethylene to protect the roof from weathering, stress, freezing, etc. The added durability reduces the need for costly roofing repairs.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact the Best
