Slate roofing has always symbolised luxury, longevity, and European elegance—but it comes with serious downsides: extreme weight, high cost, and complex installation. Enter the game-changer: slate-look asphalt shingles. These modern marvels bring you the timeless charm of slate without the structural burden or budget stress.
At Scaffs India, we bring global roofing innovations like slate-style shingles to Kerala homeowners, architects, and builders seeking aesthetic appeal without compromise.
🪨 What Are Slate-Look Shingles?
Slate-look shingles are high-performance laminated asphalt shingles engineered to mimic the texture, colour variation, and split-edge aesthetic of real slate stone tiles—but at a fraction of the weight and cost.
They are:
Lighter and easier to install
Designed for high durability
Visually indistinguishable from real slate from the street

🏠 Why They’re Ideal for Homes in Kerala
Slate-look shingles solve many of the practical challenges Kerala homeowners face with traditional roofing materials:
✅ Lightweight:
Kerala’s many heritage homes, wooden cottages, and modern prefab structures often can’t bear the weight of natural slate. Asphalt alternatives fit effortlessly.
