Tough and lightweight imitation roof slate

Authentic natural slate colour. Modern, unbreakable alternative to natural slate tile for new build and re-roofing projects. Lighter, tougher and easier to work with than real slate.

Moulded from casts of natural slate, they provide an authentic texture that looks amazing - year after year, with the advantage that they do not crack, curl or fade. Designed with a curvature, called InFlex, to provide a secure and watertight fit that resists uplift and winds up to 110mph.

Features & Benefits

Lightweight - just 12kg/m² so easy to handle and needs less support
Authentic appearance - real slate moulds and random textures
Uplift resistance - built-in InFlex camber for tighter fit
Consistent size - no need to sort tiles by thickness
Easy preparation - easy to cut and no need to drill
Faster fitting - nail, exposure and spacing markings
Super strong - wont crack/break if dropped or walked on
Non-fading - protection against fading under sunlight
Lifetime warranty - fit with confidence
Low-Pitch use - can use on roofs as low as 14°
Complete system - compatible ridge tiles, top caps and breathable membrane
BBA amp; BS Certified - complies with BS476 Part 3 - an AA fire rating is achieved for insulation on boarded roofs
100% Recyclable - conserve natural resources and reduce landfill

Installs Quickly, Looks Great, Lasts Long

Available in a range of different colours, these faux roofing tiles give homeowners, designers and architects the freedom to express.

Blended from dolomite limestone and polypropylene, they are over 50% lighter and much less fragile than natural slate, so easier to handle too.

Being tougher, they can be walked on during installation, without risk of cracking. This fact alone can reduce wastage by 15%. They're also easy to cut and fit, so quick to install.

It's no wonder that roofing contractors love to work with them.
