Slate tiles have been a popular roofing material for centuries, yet the heavy and expensive stone does have some drawbacks. Viking Roofspec champions ‘Viking EcoStar’ — a sustainable, lightweight alternative that looks as good, if not better, than its counterpart.
This Barrys Bay home, inspired by the secluded 30-acre rural block on which it sits, features Viking EcoStar slate-look shingles.
Viking EcoStar tiles are injection-moulded using over 50 different moulds to imitate chiseled slate.
Two different coloured Viking EcoStar tiles were used on the roof of this home to create visual interest.
The 550m2 St Andrews Church re-roof project was installed over a two month period using Viking EcoStar Majestic Slate tiles in Midnight Grey.
Viking EcoStar tiles are the picture of elegance on this stately home.
