Yes. DaVinci Slate and Shake shingles are “color-through.”

Open Accordion Menu Item

No. Testing requirements for both Miami-Dade and ICC-ES dictate that tiles must be subjected to significant accelerated weathering cycles and then be re-tested in order to achieve certification. This is intended to prove that the tiles will not suffer from material degradation of key performance properties after years on the roof.

There are no tests that accurately project how an outdoor product will perform except actual exposure. DaVinci has roof tiles that have endured “actual” real world conditions for more than 25 years and are performing very well. In addition to real world testing we have extensively “lab tested” our products and have successfully completed all tests required by the International Codes Council (ICC), ACO7 (Acceptance Criteria For Special Roofing Systems), Miami-Dade NOA, Texas Department of Insurance, etc.

DaVinci Slate and Shake are both certified for Class A fire resistance, Class 4 impact resistance and up to 110 mph wind resistance by licensed independent laboratories. Plus, since the material is non-porous, it offers unparalleled resistance to freezing/thawing cycles and algae, fungus and insects.

DaVinci Slate costs significantly less than installed natural quarried slate of a similar thickness. It is difficult to compare DaVinci Slate with other synthetic slate shingles on an apples-to-apples basis, because DaVinci Slate offers so many extra features:

Thicker profiles
Variety of tile widths
Arrives at the jobsite in pre-collated bundles
Lifetime Limited Material Warranty with 10 year non prorated material and labor guarantee
Optional Renaissance finish with Kynar for additional UV protection
Even with these superior features, DaVinci Slate costs generally the same as the less desirable, old-fashioned “fake slate” shingles. Simply put, DaVinci Slate provides superior value and aesthetic appeal at a comparable installed cost to competitive synthetic slate roof tiles. In all cases, of course, the total installed cost (labor and materials combined) is determined by the contractor based on the specific details of each project.

  • Impact-rated roofing is highly resistant to hail damage, reducing the need for repairs or replacements. This can lower your insurance premiums.
  • Class 4 impact roofing may reduce your insurance premiums or deductible if you live in a hail prone region*.
  • An impact-rated roof provides greater peace of mind, protecting your home from severe weather and reducing the need for insurance claims.

*Not all insurance companies offer roofing discounts for impact rated roof products and discounts will vary depending on many factors. Discuss with your insurer to help choose the right roof for your home of building.
