LAMARITE® SLATE COMPOSITE SHINGLES

Lamarite Slate Composite Shingles by TAMKO offer homeowners the authentic look of a classic slate roof without the high-cost and performance issues.

Lamarite Slate Composite Shingles are made of innovative composite materials that are robust, fire resistant, and enduring. Lamarite shingles are formed to the specific textures and contours of slate to create authentic dimension and beauty. They're lighter in weight, and more resistant against cracking under inclement weather or heavy foot traffic. They also require less maintenance. Patent Pending.

Choose the color that best compliments your home or create your own unique color combination by mixing in an occasional accent color.
