Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Encino where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. As a rule, silicone coatings hold up well on Encino roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. Realistically, tPO and modified bitumen both work on Encino low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet.
