About DaVinci Roofscapes
What DaVinci Composite Roofing Is Made Of
DaVinci tiles are made from a durable composite material molded from real slate and cedar shakes. The company is now part of Westlake Royal Roofing.
- Slate lines come in multi-width and single-width styles.
- Shake lines give the rugged look of cedar without rot or splitting.
- Lighter weight than real slate, so many homes need no extra framing.
- Fire and impact ratings are available on many products as part of a rated roof system.
For Brentwood, Pacific Palisades and Malibu homes, that mix of high-end looks and fire-smart options is a big draw.

Why it works here
Why DaVinci Fits Fire-Zone and Custom Homes
DaVinci solves problems that real slate and wood shake bring with them.
Less weight
Composite tiles weigh far less than stone slate, which helps on older framing.
Low upkeep
No rot, splitting or sealing like real cedar shake needs.
Install and care
Planning a Class A DaVinci Roof in a Fire Zone
In Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, Class A roofing is required. With composite roofing, the rating often depends on the full assembly.
- Confirm the fire rating of the exact DaVinci product you choose.
- Use the underlayment or cap sheet the rated system calls for.
- Pair the roof with ember-resistant vents and metal gutters.
- Keep paperwork for the inspector and your insurance company.

DaVinci Roofscapes questions
DaVinci Roofscapes Roofing Questions Answered
What Venice homeowners ask us about DaVinci Roofscapes products.
Is DaVinci synthetic slate as good as real slate?
It gives a very similar look with much less weight and no cracking from foot traffic. Real slate can last longer but costs more and needs strong framing.
Is DaVinci shake fire resistant?
Many DaVinci products can reach Class A when installed as a rated assembly. We confirm the rating for your exact product and system.
Can DaVinci go on my home without extra framing?
Often, yes. Composite tiles are much lighter than stone slate. We check your framing to be sure.
Does DaVinci roofing need sealing like cedar?
No. Composite shake does not need sealing or staining, and it will not rot or split like wood.
