Sustainable Synthetic Roofing Solutions
EcoStar has been a leader in sustainable steep-slope roofing solutions for over three decades. Founded in 2010 as EcoStar LLC, our roots trace back to the 1970s with the development of Starloy, a proprietary recycled rubber and plastic formulation that became the foundation for our synthetic slate and shake roofing tiles. We pioneered the first synthetic slate tiles sold in the U.S. in 1993 and have continuously refined our manufacturing processes under ISO 9001 certification since 1997. Our products combine natural aesthetics with unmatched durability, offering Class 4 impact resistance and 50-year warranties while diverting millions of pounds of industrial waste from landfills annually.With a nationwide network of trained applicators and distributors, we provide architects, contractors, and property owners with eco-conscious alternatives to traditional roofing materials that reduce structural loads, maintenance requirements, and environmental impact without compromising on performance or visual appeal.

Synthetic Slate Roofing
Our synthetic slate roofing combines the elegant appearance of natural slate with superior durability. Made from recycled rubber and plastic, these lightweight tiles offer Class 4 impact resistance and 50-year warranties while weighing less than half traditional slate. The material resists cracking, fading, and water absorption while providing significant insurance discounts and energy savings through cool color options.
Synthetic Shake Roofing
Synthetic shake roofing replicates the natural beauty of cedar shakes with enhanced performance. These tiles maintain their appearance without the maintenance requirements of wood, offering Class 4 hail resistance and 50-year warranties. The material withstands extreme weather conditions while reducing structural load and providing energy-efficient cool color options that mitigate urban heat island effects.
Concrete Tile Alternative
Our concrete tile alternative offers the crisp aesthetic of traditional concrete with significant advantages. The lightweight composite material reduces structural stress while maintaining visual impact. These tiles resist cracking and moisture absorption, feature Class 4 impact resistance, and include energy-saving cool color options that maintain their appearance through prolonged UV exposure testing.
Clay Tile Alternative
Synthetic clay tile alternatives capture the handcrafted look of traditional clay without its limitations. These tiles are up to 70% lighter than natural clay while offering superior resistance to cracking and staining. The material maintains its appearance through extreme weather conditions and UV exposure, with no need for sealing or glazing while providing 50-year warranty protection.
Roofing Accessories
Comprehensive roofing accessory systems enhance system longevity and performance. Our product line includes high-performance underlayments, ventilation solutions, fasteners, and ice dam protection membranes. These components work synergistically with our synthetic tiles to create complete roofing systems that meet rigorous testing standards including Miami Dade hurricane resistance requirements.

Absolutely a pleasure working with Ecostars majestic slate. Its a great product that Ive used on several projects over the years. They have great color retention and Ive had zero warping or curling. I also like the fact they are solid tiles, that to me is a plus when youre installing in valleys or gable rakes simply because they do not have the voids on cut edges like tiles that have a honey comb structure. Love the product, great look.
