Sometimes the best way to share information, is to proudly offer a list. That's what we're doing today with this blog posting.
At DaVinci Roofscapes, we know it's important to provide you with a reliable lightweight roofing system. Don't be fooled though, even though our polymer shake and slate tiles are lightweight tiles, they're extremely durable. So, here's the impressive list of what our simulated shake and slate products have achieved:
All DaVinci products:
- are Class 4 impact rated, meeting the UL 2218 Impact Test (tested by Intertek)
