- Impact: compare the actual product’s impact classification.

Straight Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is synthetic roofing made from?
Composition varies by manufacturer and may include engineered polymers, recycled content, rubber-based compounds, mineral content or proprietary composites. Review the exact product specification.
Does synthetic slate look like natural slate?
Premium systems are designed to reproduce depth, edge variation and color movement. The final result depends on product quality, color blend, layout and installation.
Is synthetic roofing lighter than natural slate?
Many products are, but that does not eliminate the need to review structure, deck, slope and the complete roof assembly.
Can specialty roofing handle Four Corners wind and sun?
Some products carry strong wind, impact and UV-related performance data. Suitability depends on the exact rating, roof design, fastening and exposure.
Is specialty roofing maintenance-free?
No roof is maintenance-free. Inspections, debris removal, sealant and flashing checks, and prompt attention to damage still matter.
Can Magic Roofing replace a specialty roof with another material?
Often, yes. The existing assembly can be evaluated against compatible replacement options based on architecture, weight, performance and budget.
