Nu-lok™ Lightweight Slate Roof
Greenstone Slate® with Nu-lok™ installation – The lightweight, walk-able, genuine slate roof solution with integrated solar panel option
Nu-lok offers an alternative to traditional slate roof installation that still creates a genuine Vermont slate roof but uses up to 40% less slate, reducing material cost and roof weight. Nu-lok utilizes premium components that are designed to last, taking full advantage of slate’s longevity. A Nu-lok slate roof installation is more energy conserving, as it is installed on a grid system that naturally ventilates the roof. The slate density helps to stabilize interior temperature, and available integrated solar panels that set flush with the slates, create a truly 21st century roof solution while retaining the traditional benefits of slate. The Nu-lok™ Roofing System has been installed on thousands of roofs worldwide since its introduction in the 1980s.
The benefits are far reaching in overall roof cost reduction, reduced material needs, substantial weight reduction, increased building energy efficiency and a better overall environmental impact than the vast majority of synthetic or man-made roofing solutions. Solar Panel integration available with Nu-lok™ Roofing System and Greenstone Slate
The Nu-lok™ Roofing System is ready to include SolarRoof™ for photovoltaic solar panel / slate roof integration. Nu-lok SolarRoof™ photovoltaic panels are designed to fit directly within the Nu-lok slate installation system, creating an integrated roof that generates power, while still offering a truly aesthetically pleasing solar roof solution. In addition to the energy producing benefits of adding solar panels to a slate roof, the energy conserving benefits of a Nu-lok slate roof are significant. No other roof has the density and reflective properties of Vermont slate. And the Nu-lok batten support structure self ventilates (making it ideal for solar panel application), creating an insulating barrier of air between the slate and the roof deck increasing energy savings still further.
