GAF Slateline Shingles in Edmonton
GAF Slateline is a designer asphalt shingle with diamond-cut tabs that mimic the look of quarried slate — at a fraction of the weight and cost — with a Class 3 impact rating and a limited lifetime warranty.
What it is
Slateline uses distinctive diamond-cut tabs and colour blending to recreate the look of natural slate tile. It delivers a slate aesthetic on a standard roof structure, since it weighs far less than real slate.
Who it’s for: homeowners who love the slate look but want the practicality, weight, and price of asphalt.

Why it works in Edmonton
Real slate is heavy and expensive and rarely practical on Edmonton homes. Slateline captures the elegant slate look while keeping the weight and cost manageable, and it stands up to our weather like other GAF designer shingles.
Available colours in Canada
GAF offers Slateline in a range of colours for the Canadian market. Colour availability shifts by region and season, so rather than list colours we can’t currently verify for Alberta, we confirm the live Canadian lineup with our suppliers for each project.

Yes. Slateline uses diamond-cut tabs and colour blending to closely mimic the look of quarried slate, while weighing far less and costing a fraction of natural slate.
Is Slateline a good fit for Edmonton homes?
It is, for homeowners who want a slate aesthetic. Slateline carries a Class 3 impact rating and wind resistance up to 130 mph. In higher hail-risk areas we may suggest a Class 4 option.
Is Slateline lighter than real slate?
Much lighter. Because it’s an asphalt shingle, Slateline installs on a standard roof structure without the heavy framing real slate requires.
