Thick slate is one of today's most desired roofing styles because of its majestic, natural beauty. But many homeowners and roofing contractors shy away from real slate due to its high cost, weight, and upkeep.

TapcoSlate Aledora Roofing changes all of that, offering the look of a genuine, thick slate tile at a more economical price, lighter weight, and is virtually maintenance-free.

An innovative new solution from Tapco® Roofing Products, a division of Boral®, TapcoSlate Aledora is an authentic-looking, thick slate-style roofing.

With its exacting slate surface texture and appearance, sharp and jagged tile edges, and natural shadow variance, Aledora enhances the architectural integrity and aesthetics of residential and commercial buildings. Not only does Aledora's rich, authentic texture create eye-catching splendour, it prevents undesired gloss on roofs. In addition to their authentic surface texture and appearance, all Aledora 12-inch (300mm) tiles feature irregular edges, which are crisp and rugged, for a striking look that mimics genuine slate tile. These finely crafted edges cast a natural variance in shadows, giving Aledora tiles an on-roof appearance that's indistinguishable from true, thick slate roofing. No other slate-style roofing product provides this level of authenticity and artistry.


While natural slate is heavy, it's also relatively fragile. Aledora is much lighter in weight than slate, yet is extremely strong and impact-resistant, standing the test of time and the elements. Since Aledora is lighter, it is also much easier to install. In fact, it can be nailed or screwed by hand or nail/screw gun. As it places less load on roofs and helps preserve the roofing structure under the tiles, Aledora is ideal for re-roofs or for buildings not designed to bear the heavier weight of real slate tile. From magnificent commercial buildings to breathtaking custom homes, and even picturesque cottages, Aledora makes a dramatic design statement.

Offering unmatched design versatility, Aledora Slate Roofing is also available in an alluring array of colours and colour mixes, which further enrich its natural beauty. Choose from an array of natural slate colours which include Charcoal Black, Mist Grey (light grey), Olive (grey green), Steel Grey (mid grey), Sage Green, Red Rock and Brandywine (purple). Sublime colour mixes give a roof even more variegated, custom looks. In every colour and mix, Aledora tiles weather correctly, just like authentic slate. Aledora Slate Roofing features a Class A fire rating, 110 mph wind uplift rating, Class 4 impact rating, sustainability, and an industry-leading 40-year warranty for ultimate peace of mind.
