Man-made Roofing Slate
Man-made slate is produced predominately by two entirely different processes, the oldest of which dates back to the early twentieth century with the manufacture of fibre-cement slates. Available in two traditional sizes these highly-compressed slates are light-weight, easy to handle and install.
We stock and supply slates produced by Marley Eternit who produce a variety of products which include textured surfaced and dressed edged slates which closely emulate the appearance of natural slate.
A more recent manufacturing process involves the combination of ground-down natural slate mixed with resins to produce full-sized slates such as Britslates made by Sandtoft and interlocking tiles which when laid look identical to natural slate roofs Redland are the market leaders in this field with the Redland Cambrian slate. Similar products include the Marley Melbourn and Sandtoft Britlock.
