Polysand – a Top Synthetic Slate & Tile Choice for Canadian Climates
Polysand has quickly become a strong contender in the synthetic roofing market — especially for homeowners who want the beauty of slate or traditional clay tiles without the weight, cost, and maintenance headaches of natural materials. Manufactured in Vaughan, Ontario, Polysand’s composite roofing systems are engineered to deliver decades of performance in harsh Canadian conditions.
What Is Polysand Roofing?
Polysand roofs are made from an advanced composite material that blends virgin polymer with specially engineered fillers to create tiles that are:
-
Extremely durable and resilient
-
Lightweight and easy to install
-
Weather-resistant, including hail, rain, snow, freeze/thaw, and UV exposure
-
Eco-conscious, incorporating recycled materials where possible.
Polysand products are backed by a 50-year warranty and designed to withstand severe temperature ranges typical in Canada (from –60°C to +80°C).
