[MassHistPres] TruSlate Query

[Burks, Sarah]

This is the first I've heard of it.  The website is interesting-a hybrid system with parts of it being real slate.  I'd be interested to see a cost comparison for a real job. I'm not convinced that it would be enough cheaper than traditional slate to risk trying a brand new system. Limited 50 year warranty. 20 years on installation work.

A contractor has just come in recommending TruSlate by GAF.  Has this product been approved by any historic architectural review boards or commissions?  Does anyone know it track record?  It has a 'lifetime' guarantee.

Thanks,
