Prestigious Red Roofs from DaVinci
Wander around Europe — or even the New England states — and you’ll see some beautiful red slate roof tiles. But, you won’t see many. Why? Because natural red slate is extremely limited and not widely available.
Long valued for its scarcity and prestige, in the United States natural red slate roofing shingles can only be found in Washington County, New York. According to the National Slate Association, “unfading red” is a dense, very hard slate that can be dry and brittle when quarried, making the rare slate very expensive to produce.
Fortunately for homeowners wishing to add a bit of red to a roof (or who wish to create an entire imitation slate roof of one stunning red color!), DaVinci Roofscapes offers a cost-effective alternative with our imitation slate shingles.
Our experts at DaVinci can create a custom color or custom color blend for your designer roof quite easily. Send us a sample of the red you’re interested in — whether it’s a tube of red lipstick or a swatch of red fabric — and we can match the color. That’s because we have some of the most advanced color matching capabilities in the industry to help you accent your designer roof with fire engine red highlights or cover the entire roof in a soft mottled wine red blend.
So, if you’d like to capture the prestige of red in your lightweight roofing tiles (or any other unique color), contact us for all your roofing options! And, for more information on custom colors and blends, see Bring a Little Custom to Your Blend and Rainbow of Roofing Colors.
