Artificial Slates
As a popular alternative to natural slate, we can also supply an extensive range of high performance natural finish machine-made slate tiles in a variety of sizes to suit most roofing projects.
These are fibre-cement artificial slates which are a composite material of sand, cement and cellulose fibres. There is a fibre reinforcement within the cement which gives it extra strength and durability. The main application areas for fibre cement products are roofing and internal and external cladding.
Fibre-cement slates are :-
-
smooth surfaced, square edged, and lightweight;
-
pre-holed and low profile suitable for all types of roofing and cladding projects;
-
particularly suitable for complex roof geometries down to 15 degrees pitch;
-
available in three shape formats;
-
finished with a high quality, semi-matt acrylic coloured coating in several colour options.

Eco Slates
Eco Slate is a 100% recycled self-bonding roof slate/shingle and is available in either grey or old world red. The slate has the unique flexibility to be used for valleys and ridges.
There is no need for custom-made accessories because every slate can be cut and set to any angle or size needed.
A unique advantage that distinguishes these slates from any other synthetic slate on the market is that they are self-bonding, this allows them to bond together once installed creating one membrane. The benefit of this process gives a
stronger, more pliable solid membrane that gives a roof that is wind and weather resistant, and better insulated, even at low pitches.
