Composite Roofing Utah | Slate & Shake | Best Roofing Utah

What if you could have the stunning, authentic look of natural slate or cedar shake without the associated weight, maintenance, or cost? Welcome to the world of synthetic composite roofing. At Best Roofing Utah, we are certified installers of high-performance composite roofing systems, offering homeowners a revolutionary material that combines timeless beauty with modern, high-tech performance.

Composite roofing is the perfect solution for Utah homeowners who want a luxury, architectural look that is engineered to withstand our state’s most extreme weather conditions with minimal upkeep. It is, simply put, beauty without the burden.

What is Synthetic Composite Roofing?

Composite roofing is an advanced, engineered material, typically made from a blend of virgin and recycled plastics, polymers, and other sustainable materials. These materials are compressed and injection-molded under extreme pressure to precisely replicate the texture, color, and character of natural roofing products. The molds are often cast from real slate and wood shake, capturing every subtle groove, grain, and chisel mark for unparalleled realism.

We specialize in installing products from industry-leading manufacturers like DaVinci Roofscapes and Brava Roof Tile, which are renowned for their authentic appearance and unwavering durability.

Our Composite Roofing Options Include:

• Synthetic Slate Tile: Achieves the elegant, chiseled look of natural slate at a fraction of the weight. It allows homeowners to get the prestige of a slate roof without needing to perform a costly structural reinforcement of their home’s framing.
• Composite Cedar Shake: Captures the rustic beauty and deep shadow lines of hand-split cedar shake. Unlike natural wood, it will not rot, curl, split, or be susceptible to moss and algae growth, making it a “set it and forget it” solution.
• Composite Spanish Tile: Mimics the classic barrel shape of clay tile, providing a beautiful Mediterranean look that is far more durable, walkable, and impact-resistant than traditional clay.

Why Choose a Composite Roof for Your Utah Home?

Composite roofing offers a powerful combination of benefits that make it an increasingly popular choice for homeowners across Utah, from Salt Lake City to St. George.

• Incredible Durability (Hail Proof): Composite tiles are engineered to be exceptionally strong. They carry a Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—making them extremely resistant to damage from even large hailstones. This makes it a top choice for “hail proof roofing” in Utah’s storm-prone areas.
• High Wind Resistance: These systems feature interlocking tiles and are designed and tested to withstand hurricane-force winds, often rated for 110 mph or higher, providing superior protection during Utah’s canyon wind events.
• Virtually Maintenance-Free: Unlike natural wood, composite roofing will not absorb water, rot, crack, or support the growth of moss and algae. It requires no special treatments, chemical preservatives, or frequent cleaning.
• Lightweight Construction: Composite materials are surprisingly lightweight, often comparable to asphalt shingles. This is a significant advantage, as they can be installed on almost any home without the need for the costly structural engineering and reinforcement required for natural slate or clay tile.
• Class A Fire Rating: All the composite products we install carry the highest possible Class A fire rating, providing superior protection and peace of mind, especially for homes in Utah’s mountains and wildland-urban interface areas.
• Advanced Color & UV Protection: The colors are blended throughout the material and are infused with advanced UV inhibitors to resist fading from Utah’s intense high-altitude sun, ensuring your roof looks beautiful for decades. This “color-through” technology means even if a tile gets scratched, the color is consistent all the way through.

Frequently Asked Questions About Composite Roofing

How realistic does composite roofing actually look?

Modern, high-end composite roofing is remarkably realistic. The molds are cast from dozens of unique natural slate and wood shake pieces, and the color blends are designed to mimic natural variations. From the street, it is virtually indistinguishable from the natural material it mimics.

What is the cost of a composite roof compared to other materials?

The cost of a composite roof typically falls between a high-end asphalt shingle roof and natural materials like slate or tile. While the upfront investment is higher than shingles, its 50-year lifespan and lack of maintenance costs make it an excellent long-term value and a smart return on investment.

How long does a composite roof last?

Composite roofs are designed to last for 50 years or more, and they come with some of the best long-term warranties in the roofing industry, often a 50-year limited warranty.

How does composite roofing handle heavy Utah snow?

Exceptionally well. Because the tiles are non-porous, they don’t absorb water, which prevents them from freezing, cracking, or becoming heavier under snow load. Snow sheds from them cleanly, and they are strong enough to handle the weight of heavy, wet snow without issue.

Is composite roofing an environmentally friendly choice?

Yes. Many composite roofing products are made from recycled materials (like plastics and polymers) and are 100% recyclable themselves at the end of their long life, making them a sustainable option that reduces landfill waste.
