About Brava Old World Slate
Brava Old World Slate tiles deliver the timeless elegance of natural quarried slate without the extreme weight that demands costly structural reinforcement. Made from a proprietary composite polymer blend, each tile is crafted with realistic thickness variation and surface texture that's virtually indistinguishable from genuine slate at the curb.
Available in standard 12" and multi-width (6", 9", 12") configurations, Brava Slate gives installers and homeowners flexibility to achieve traditional or contemporary patterns. At roughly 311 lbs per square - significantly lighter than natural slate - these tiles install on standard roof framing. The Class 4 impact rating handles Northern Virginia's hail events, and the non-porous composite won't crack from freeze-thaw cycles the way natural slate can.
