This provides designers creativity and individuality of expression, whether recreating old-world charm or meeting today’s critical architectural design criteria. Nutec Roof Slates are factory coated with a specially developed paint system. Natural weathering will cause the paint coating to fade over time. Inspection and re-coating of the roof recommended after seven (7) years.
