CertainTeed Highland

What This Service Involves

Highland, part of CertainTeed's designer slate offerings, uses a layered build and nuanced granule blends to imitate the irregular beauty of real slate. Its tapered edges and mixed tones create a hand-laid look that suits upscale and heritage-style Northwest homes. The substantial construction helps the roof endure the wet, windy conditions typical of the Puget Sound region. Highland is a fitting choice for homeowners chasing an authentic slate character on a conventional roof structure.

Benefits

Natural slate-look texture with tapered edges; varied color blends for an authentic hand-laid appearance; luxury aesthetic without slate's structural weight; algae-resistant granules to counter streaking; excellent fit for heritage and upscale homes
