Traditional vs. Composite Roofing
| Feature | Traditional Materials | Brava Composite |
| Weight | Natural slate and clay can be very heavy | Designed as a lighter-weight alternative |
| Maintenance | Wood, slate and clay may require ongoing repair | Designed for lower maintenance |
| Durability | Natural materials can crack, chip, split or deteriorate | Composite construction designed for long-term performance |
| Appearance | Authentic natural material | Designed to recreate slate, cedar and clay |
| Color | Natural variation | Multi-tonal color and texture designed to mimic natural materials |
| Warranty | Varies by material | Brava offers limited 50-year warranty coverage, subject to manufacturer terms |
Traditional roofing materials remain an excellent choice for many properties. Brava provides an alternative for homeowners who want the character of natural slate, cedar or clay while reducing many of the weight and maintenance considerations associated with those materials.

The Brava Advantage
Premium architectural style with the benefits of composite roofing.
Lightweight Construction
Brava composite roofing is designed to provide the appearance of premium natural roofing materials while reducing the weight associated with many traditional slate and clay roofing systems.
Lower Maintenance
Composite roofing avoids many of the maintenance concerns associated with natural wood, fragile slate, and clay tile.
Authentic Appearance
Dimensional profiles, varied textures, and multi-tonal colors help reproduce the character of natural slate, cedar, and traditional tile.
Impact Resistance
Selected Brava profiles, including Old World Slate and Spanish Barrel Tile, are available with Class 4 impact ratings.
Color Designed to Look Natural
Natural roofing materials rarely have one perfectly uniform shade.
Variation between individual pieces creates depth, texture, and architectural character.
Brava uses its ColorCast process to create color and variation throughout its roofing products, helping Slate, Cedar Shake, and Spanish Barrel Tile reproduce the multi-tonal appearance associated with natural materials.
Great State Roofing can help homeowners compare roofing colors with:
- Brick
- Stone
- Stucco
- Exterior paint
- Siding
- Copper
- Gutters
- Chimneys
- Other architectural details
