Greenstone Slate® with Nu-lok™ installation – Genuine Vermont Slate with an innovative lightweight installation solution
Nu-lok offers an exciting alternative to traditional slate roof installation that creates a genuine slate roof that uses up to 40% less slate. Slate, as natural stone is heavier than asphalt, cedar shakes and other materials and the additional weight of a traditionally installed slate roof can be an obstacle. The Nu-lok system makes possible the style, protection and longevity of slate in many more new construction and re-roofs projects—such as cedar shake replacement.
- The Nu-lok™ Roofing System has been installed on thousands of roofs worldwide since its introduction in the 1980s.
- Nu-lok uses premium components including stainless steel and Galvalume to support and secure the slate — in keeping with slate’s longevity.
- A Nu-lok slate roof installation contributes to reduction of a home or building’s heating and cooling energy consumption, because the slate is installed on a grid system that naturally ventilates the roof.
- Slate’s high density does its part for energy savings by helping stabilize interior building temperature with it’s gradual adsorption and release of heat.
- Greenstone Slate with Nu-lok has been independently tested and meets hurricane zone resistance to high winds.
- Solar panels can be installed on the slate support structure and will sit flush with the slates, (available in Europe and Australia only) to create a truly 21st century roof solution while retaining the traditional benefits of slate.
