AIAGSS201: Genuine Slate Roofing with 40% Less Roof Weight

1.25 LU / HSW  |  Introductory Level Course

This course introduces the participant to a reduced-weight method of installing a genuine slate roof. This contemporary weight-saving approach to installing slate can be applied to roofing and cladding for residential, commercial, institutional and restoration projects.

The course also reviews the benefits of natural slate as roofing material and goes on to compare traditional and lightweight slate installation. The comparison reveals how it is possible to reduce the weight of a genuine slate roof without compromising the highly regarded benefits of slate from aesthetics to durability.

Also included is video of an actual lightweight roof installation demonstration, repair to the lightweight roof if damage occurs and how the lightweight installation method enhances impact and water protection.
Additional points are made with regard to ASTM ratings and the environmental impact considerations.
