QUEENTILE SLATE
Natural stone beauty — stone-coated steel roof tile
The enduring charm of natural stone roofing recalls the architecture of our ancestors. The QUEENTILE SLATE profile captures the spirit of old European and early North American traditions, offering reliable protection against the harshest weather.
Quarried slate is beautiful and brutally heavy — often over 8 lb per square foot. SLATE delivers the flat, layered stone aesthetic at under 1.4 lb per square foot, on the same eight-layer Aluzinc steel composite as the rest of the range.

The look of quarried stone, without the load
SLATE is the flattest, most understated profile in the QUEENTILE range: a clean staggered-slab geometry finished in Black Mix Cracovia basalt, echoing the slate roofs of old Europe and the American Northeast. At 16.54″ × 48.82″, each panel covers 4.89 sq ft — the widest coverage of any QUEENTILE profile — for fast installation and few visible seams.

Slate — common questions
How does QUEENTILE Slate compare to natural slate?
Natural slate can exceed 8 lb per square foot and usually demands reinforced framing; QUEENTILE Slate delivers the same flat stone aesthetic at under 1.4 lb per square foot, installs on standard lath battens, and is warranted for 50 years against corrosion and fading.
How long will a QUEENTILE stone-coated steel roof last?
QUEENTILE tiles carry a 50-year legal warranty that covers both corrosion and aesthetic performance. The Aluzinc-coated steel core is up to six times more rust-resistant than conventional galvanized steel, and the acrylic-sealed basalt surface resists UV fading, granule loss, and moss growth for the life of the roof.
Is stone-coated steel roofing noisy in the rain?
No. The layer of natural basalt granules absorbs the impact of rain and hail, so a QUEENTILE roof is dramatically quieter than bare metal roofing — comparable to asphalt shingle or clay tile.
