Slate Shingles

The Slate Style Shingles We Install

Slate style shingles are designed for homeowners who love the classic, high-end look of natural stone roofing but want a more practical and affordable option. These shingles recreate the refined, historic slate appearance without the weight, cost, or structural reinforcement that real slate requires.

In addition to slate-inspired shingles, American Standard Roofing also installs and services authentic natural slate roofing for homeowners who want the genuine article.

What Defines Slate Style Shingles

Thanks to its flat profile with defined edges, this style offers clean, chiseled lines and rich shadowing meant to mimic traditional slate tiles. Slate style shingles are also designed to imitate the look of stone roofing found on historic or estate-style homes. And they are much lighter and easier to install than real slate tiles.

For homeowners considering true stone roofing, our team can also evaluate your home for natural slate installation or repair, which requires specialized expertise and structural planning.

Why Homeowners Choose This Style

Slate style shingles are a great choice for homeowners who want a refined architectural aesthetic. This option:

• Offers an elegant, traditional appearance suited for classic home designs
• Does not require structural reinforcement needed, unlike real slate
• Is more affordable than true slate or high-end composites
• Is available in asphalt and premium synthetic profiles

However, for those seeking unmatched longevity and authentic stone character, we also provide real slate roofing installation and service, including repairs and replacements.
