TapcoSlate Classic adds elegance and tradition to any project. The synthetic slate is shaped with a textured surface and riven edges moulded from authentic slates that make the Tapco Slate almost indistinguishable from natural slate. Tapco Slate will not crack, break or delaminate, and the product formulation and manufacturing processes provide the synthetic slates tiles with durability, performance, and longevity for many years. By providing a lightweight and easily-installed product, installation costs are lower, with less waste.
