Brava Old World questions
How much does a Brava Old World roof cost?
Our quote engine has no rate for composite (synthetic) slate tile yet, so we don't quote one. Ask roofers who install Brava for a price on your roof area; our free tool measures that area from satellite.

Brava lists 13 colors: Arendale, Atlantic, Cottage, Graphite, Light Arendale, Onyx, Washington, Sandstone, European, Pine Green, Tuscan Clay, Victorian, White. Availability varies by region, so check with a local roofer or Brava before you settle on one.
Is Brava Old World impact resistant?
Brava lists it as Class 4 impact (as Brava states it). Class 4 is the highest UL 2218 rating and the one many insurers discount premiums for; Class 3 is one step below.
