Province Slate, a 12-inch wide tile with a fixed 8-inch exposure evokes a historical nature with an authentic slate appeal. Modeled after actual slate, the tiles have a natural, non-repeating beauty that complements a variety of home styles. The Class A fire-rated and Class 4 impact-rated tile can also be used on commercial projects. The durable slate tiles resist severe weather, high winds, insects, algae, and fungus growth. Each tile has rear-side nail marking templates, an enhanced backside rib structure, and self-aligning edges for ease and speed of installation. The new Province Slate tiles are available in six of the most popular colors requested by DaVinci customers: Slate Gray, Slate Black, Smokey Gray, Castle Gray, European, and Brownstone.
