If roof weight is a factor, consider installing a Greenstone Slate roof using the Nu-lok™ roofing system

The Nu-lok™ roofing system is a new method for fastening slate to a roof that significantly reduces overall roof weight by more efficiently using the slate. Its patented batten and Link Channel™ design that utilizes galvanized and stainless steel to create a grid that holds the slates securely in place. The Nu-lok™ system and slate weighs less than six pounds per square foot, which is within the design parameters of most structures.

For those seeking a to replace a cedar shake roof with a roof that has an extended lifespan and distinctive look, you can now install a slate roof without the need for additional roof support. And a Nu-lok/Greenstone slate roof installs with a quality standard roof installation crew.  

Nu-lok™ meets or exceeds the ASTM E-108 Class A ICBO standard. Nu-lok has also received a letter of acceptance by Miami-Dade County, Florida for use in hurricane zones. View the letter of acceptance here.
