Plastic and Synthetics
Synthetics are a polymer without fiber reinforcement and are designed to look like cedar and slate and promise of maintenance free function over a lifetime. However, though plastic shingles are lightweight and easy to install most are thin with a shiny finish which keeps them from looking anything like a cedar shake or slate tile. Their durability varies greatly by manufacture. Polypropylene is a fragile material prone to cracking during winter weather so unless strengthen with other materials’ they are unsuitable in cold climates.
Composite Cedar Shake or Shingle and Slate tiles
Typically, composite shake, shingle and slate are made from recycled materials and a mineral filler such as ground up limestone then mixed with proprietary plastic resins and colors. They give the same look of cedar shakes or Slate tiles but have a much longer lifespan- maintenance free with a 50-year warranty. They cost about 4 times the amount of Asphalt shingles which really puts them out of some peoples’ price range.
