I know for years there have been a lot of companies making various lighter, stronger "slates" out of various materials, some of which have proved to not be durable, or of questionable material makeup, or just not function well. I am currently looking for something to put on a small building that looks like traditional diamond slates, and have some track record or at least a good chance of durability in the long run. I am doing some research, but I haven't used "fake" slates before so I thought I'd ask if anyone here might have a recommendation - something you have used and liked, or seen elsewhere, etc. The more detail the better.
And thank you.
