F-Wave REVIA Designer Slate Shingles
Built for Central Texas Weather. Designed to Last 50 Years.
Built for Central Texas Weather. Designed to Last 50 Years.
F-Wave REVIA Designer Slate is a synthetic roofing shingle engineered to replicate the look of natural slate without the weight, cost, or maintenance that real slate demands.
Traditional asphalt shingles were never built for a roof that also has to be a statement. They fade, they granulate, and in a Central Texas hailstorm they lose. REVIA Designer Slate is built from a single-piece polymer composite with no granules to shed and no layers to delaminate. It performs where asphalt quits and looks better doing it.
For Georgetown and Central Texas homeowners who want a roof that holds up to the climate and holds its own on the street, REVIA Designer Slate is the rare product that delivers both without compromise.
Central Texas doesn't have a gentle climate. It has hail seasons that dent cars, summers that push attic temperatures past 160 degrees, and UV exposure that bleaches and brittles conventional roofing materials years ahead of schedule.
REVIA Designer Slate is Class 4 impact-rated, meaning it's tested to withstand the hail events that cycle through Williamson County every spring. The single-piece polymer construction doesn't expand and contract the way asphalt does through freeze-thaw cycles, and it won't fade under the kind of sustained UV load that Central Texas delivers nine months out of the year.
For a homeowner in Georgetown, Round Rock, or the surrounding Hill Country, synthetic slate isn't an upgrade for aesthetics alone. It's the material specification that matches the actual conditions your roof lives in.
Most synthetic slate products try to look like slate. REVIA Designer Slate is engineered to perform like nothing else on the market.
The single-piece construction eliminates the failure points that plague conventional shingles. No granules to lose in a hailstorm. No adhesive strips to fail in summer heat. No layered construction to delaminate over time. What goes on your roof is the same product ten years later.
The 50-year WeatherForce Advantage Warranty backs that up with coverage against wind, hail, algae, and color fading. That's not a limited lifetime warranty with exclusions buried in fine print. It's five decades of documented manufacturer confidence in a single product.
For homeowners who have replaced an asphalt roof once already and have no interest in doing it again, REVIA Designer Slate is the last roofing decision they'll make on this house.
Class 4 is the highest impact resistance rating available for roofing materials. In Williamson County, where hail events are a recurring seasonal reality, it is also the rating that qualifies most homeowners for a reduction in their insurance premium. Ask your Ark consultant whether your current carrier offers a Class 4 discount before your next renewal.

3-tab asphalt is builder-grade material. It's what goes on a house when the builder is minimizing cost, not maximizing value. Most Central Texas homes built in the last two decades have it, and most of those homeowners are replacing it ahead of schedule after a hail event.
Class 3 and Class 4 architectural shingles are the conventional upgrade path. They perform better than 3-tab but they're still granule-based asphalt products subject to the same failure modes in extreme heat and impact events. A Class 4 architectural shingle is a better asphalt roof. REVIA Designer Slate is a different category of roof entirely.
REVIA Designer Slate is available in two distinctive profiles and seven colors. Estate Series delivers a formal, dimensional look. American Blends offer a softer, variegated finish. Both carry the same Class 4 performance rating and 50-year warranty.

Ark not only replaced my roof, they totally redone my home's exterior. The best-looking work I have ever had done. Nice to have a local Georgetown business right up the road.
The company president is personally committed to excellence from start to finish. He conducted a detailed survey, including an inspection from inside the attic and a drone overview. One of the best experiences we have ever had with a contractor.
Luke and his team were very professional and good at communicating throughout the whole process. They took care of everything and made the work pretty painless. Don't hesitate to give them a chance.
